Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I want to know which properties of the retrieved entity are excluded from the index. Describe the solution you'd like Allow the value of exclude_from_indexes, defined in Protocol buffer, to be retrieved through the library. Describe alternatives you've considered None. Additional context None.

I believe that adding a new EXCLUDE_FROM_INDEXES_SYMBOL and adding a value to the entity object would add feature with less scope of influence.

When you say the retrieved entity then are you referring to when datastore.get is used or when datastore.runQuery is used?

I can confirm that entity.properties at https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-datastore/blob/ba8ea831e317794abd6a5d5a5d61b96c6c794855/src/request.ts#L309 includes an excludeFromIndexes field so I think this can be included here. We just need to parse it properly in this function.
