I personally don't have the need for this feature (yet), but I'd be open to adding this feature to Copier. What about the other @copier-org/maintainers?

The request for dynamic choices has come up a few times. We have a [design proposal](https://github.com/orgs/copier-org/discussions/1193#discussioncomment-10040365) that looks promising. Would you happen to be interested in attempting an implementation?

Thanks for suggesting this enhancement, @FourierMourier! :pray: IIUC, `--include myfile.txt --include '*.yaml'` is exactly equivalent to `--exclude '!myfile.txt' --exclude '!*.yaml'`. Right? So, it would merely be a matter of some...
