Description

I tried "rust-analyzer.files.excludeDirs" but it doesn't seem to have an effect. Specifically I'm working on a project that is (currently, I'm rewriting parts of it) using a templating language for generating Rust code, and I get lots of syntax errors from RA when opening one of those templated-Rust files.

Research direction

Start by tracing how rust-analyzer.files.excludeDirs is handled and reproduce the behavior with the templated-Rust files described in the issue. Done means those files are excluded from parsing and no longer produce syntax errors, or the supported limitation is documented.
