exclude using patterns

[benjamine]

this is a feature request,
I want to exclude from my bundle all files in /vendor or /external
so instead of indicating the files individually I would like to specify a pattern, eg: "/vendor/*"

I was going to just say "use your shell" but this is actually tricky and messy to do:

browserify z.js `ls -1 vendor|sed 's/^/-u .\/vendor\//'`

in 3.30.0 you can do:

browserify z.js -u 'vendor/*.js'

sorry but actually I use browserify thru gulp-browserify, ie. thru it's programmatic api,

    // this works
    browserify({
        standalone: "mylib",
        exclude: "../../vendor/jquery"
    })
    // this doesn't
    browserify({
        standalone: "mylib",
        exclude: "../../vendor/*"
    })

looking at your commits I think you implemented it for the command line argument only.
if I'm not wrong though, I think you'll suggest me to expand the list of files on my code before invoking browserify?

    // this works
    browserify({
        standalone: "mylib",
        exclude: expandGlob("../../vendor/*").andRemoveExtensions()
    })

You can glob.sync() the arguments yourself from the API, yes. I don't control what gulp does.

sure, just thought it could be nicer if exclude accepted something else, a regex or a filter function, but KISS 👍 thanks!
