[Aide] Override an exclusion?

Hi,
There doesn't seem to be a way (or at least I haven't found one yet) in
aide of saying "exclude everything *except* ..."; for example:
!/home/[^/]+/.*
/home/[^/]+/\.bash(rc|_profile)$ R
/ R
Or similarly:
/home/[^/]+/\.bash(rc|_profile)$ R
!/home
/ R
Neither of the above works, no matter what order you put the lines in,
because aide always processes exclude rules *after* all other rules,
even if the exclude rule is further up the tree. So any child nodes of
an exclude rule are effectively ignored.
Obviously you could try not using a default include everything (ie.
discard "/ R") but that's not my point.
Am I missing a trick here?
Thanks,
Chris
