Description

The need to wrap collection/array elements into a container element is occasionally frustrating to users (XML verbosity). Within plugin configuration, this can be achieved without a new model format, e.g.

<fileset>
  <directory>src/demo</directory>
  <include>Foo*</include>
  <include>Bar*</include>
  <exclude>*Bad</exclude>
</fileset>
