Makes sense.
I suspect that people may get greedy and start saying "now we can add a new directory (say, Documentation/) without repeating what we already configured, I want a way to add a new directory without some of the paths in that directory (say, Documentation/ but not Documentation/technical/)", but that won't happen until people can use "add", so let's take small incremental steps, and addition of "add" is such a good first step.
Will queue. Thanks.
