Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reading issue #195 and locating the existing schema-exclusion behavior in the Go code; determine how table exclusions and the proposed grammar should fit together. Done means table exclusions are supported with documented matching behavior and coverage for the relevant cases.

Description

enhancement

Describe the feature
Provide a thorough description of the feature. If possible, include examples of the feature and its behavior. For example, if it's a new command flag, provide examples of using the command flag and expected outputs.
Just like schemas, some tables may need to be excluded from the migration plan. Because exclusion will probably get pretty complex, we may want to create some predefined grammar to avoid parameter explosion:

--exclude 'type=[schema|table] name="regex"'

*Motivation
Describe why you want this feature. This is important for assessing the priority of the feature and if alternative solutions exist.
