Feature : exclude_name_list

[arita37]

Sometimes, we have a very long file of utilities,
we want to expose all functions except some names.

It would be useful to have this
to filter out some exposure.

fire.Fire(exclude_name_list = [ 'os', 'myfun1*', 'myfun2*'])

Take a look at #47 and see if that helps you out.

1. suppose we have 40 functions,
   and want to expose all, but exclude only 10….

Having an exclusion list can be helpful.

Renaming to _ is not perfect since those functions can be reused in python code…

Depending on how you use import ... __all__ could be useful in your situation.

Thanks for the feature request. I see the value of this and it is something we might consider in the future.
It's not currently planned though.
