The "problem" is that the compiler handles all the include and exclude
wildcard processing - not the Files and Folders list. Sometimes there are
hundreds or thousands of files and quite a few subfolders behind one simple
wildcard (include and exclude) definition. So the idea is great (I also had
it when I added the wildcard feature <g>), but it would completely slow down
the IDE.

For example, I have one consulting project with more than 75,000 files and
400+ folders and subfolders. One (1) wildcard handles it all. Okay, open
the project and go to the Files and Folders Visualizer. Bang, the file
scanning function has to process 75,000 files to calculate the total file
size. Ouch. After a coffee break, I can see the real file size. Okay, I
have to change a function in the script editor. Then I go back to the Files
and Folders Visualizer. Again, it has to scan through all the files. Next
coffee break <g>.
