Description

'exclusions' is misnamed - it should be 'leaveAsIs' or somesuch.

I want to totally exclude some packages or classes from the resulting jar. As in leave them out, or kill them, or don't have them at all in the resulting jar. Neither as their original class name nor their potential new class name.

Perforce has an 'obliterate' concept, given exclude is already used in shade, maybe obliterate is the new element for this essential feature.
