Description

Hey,

I have some big apps in which I want to add opentelemetry. However, I want to iteratively add endpoints I want to be enabled. Currently I only see exclude argument, which would be absurdly long and hard to maintain in my case.
Do you have some ideas if this could be achieved easily?

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the instrumentation APIs that expose the existing exclude argument and reviewing how endpoint URLs are matched. Define the desired include behavior and its tests before implementation; done means users can enable only selected endpoints without maintaining an exclusion list.
