Configuration option to exclude files/patterns

[rossbar]

I've searched the issue tracker and didn't see any issue that exactly matched my question... #1228 is certainly related but given the breadth of discussion there I figured it might be easier to open a new discussion - apologies in advance for the clutter!

Proposal

Sphinx/JB1 has the exclude_patterns option in the project configuration to enable ignoring certain files/patterns at build time. AFAICT there is not (yet) equivalent functionality in the myst.yml configuration.

Additional notes

For many cases, I think there are ways this could be worked around by reorganizing directory structures; however IME with JB1 this is a very handy configuration option!

Hi @rossbar, perhaps the exclude frontmatter field (myst.yml) is what you're looking for?
