this is easy: only fill in the fields you care about.

i really don't see the big gain for mixing inclusive and exclusive matching, 
tbh. it will require a more complex UI to make this possible, and it really 
seems more like a "because we could" feature than a "because we should" 
feature.

what are the use scenarios for mixing inclusive and exlusive filters?

which is why i included it in my proposal.
