Would be possible to change the terms blackList/whiteList to allowList/denyList?

Perhaps add an option to use the allow/deny alternative to avoid creating a major release change.

Thanks for your library!

Yes of course, thank you for pointing it out. If we don’t get a volunteer before then I'll do it this weekend.

I personally don't feel this kind of terminology change will help solve any kind of issue, either in this repository or in the world: this will just add some confusion in a place where those terms have nothing to do with racism, nor they share any ethimological roots with racial discriminations.
But if you feel like this kind of fig leafs will help the society in any way, who am I to disagree?

So guys, we did it. Racism is no more.

Laughable. And the fact that this is still sitting around over a year later just goes to show the true colors being displayed here. Total empty, fake, virtue signaling nonsense. You all should be ashamed.
