[feature request] Include and Exclude by Regex Pattern

[jacobeatsspam]

I have a bunch of tables that share a common prefix and I would like to exclude them. This could be done with a simple glob/wildcard, or regex.

This is a good one! I will happily take a pull request for it if you want it soon, otherwise I'll add this to my project queue.

Hi @tedivm @jacobeatsspam I would like to contribute to this issue ! Any guidance would be appreciated 👍

The logic for the table selection is in the resolve_includes_tables function. Right now the arguments for includes and excluded tables uses pretty basic string matching, and this would have to be replaced with something that iterates over the tables to do a regular expression instead.

You'll likely want to start by writing some tests with the desired functionality.
