tsconfig.json confusing settings

[memeplex]

The compilar configuration includes both:

	"exclude": [
		"node_modules",
		".vscode-test"
	]

and

	"compilerOptions": {
		"rootDir": "src",

According to the documentation exclude:

Specifies an array of filenames or patterns that should be skipped when resolving include. Important: exclude only changes which files are included as a result of the include setting.

And regarding rootDir:

Note that TypeScript will never write an output file to a directory outside of outDir, and will never skip emitting a file. For this reason, rootDir also enforces that all files which need to be emitted are underneath the rootDir path.

So it seems that the exclude setting may be both ineffective (because there is no include) and redundant (because rootDir is already enforcing that all emitted files are underneath src).

I think you are correct, you can delete the exclude section.
