Bug #73089 for File-ChangeNotify: 'exclude' does not apply to files as documented

Documentation for 'exclude' says The paths can be either directories or specific files. If the exclusion matches a directory, all of its files and subdirectories are ignored. but I can't see anywhere in the code where it actually affects which files are ignored, only directories. It would be really useful to be able to ignore editor backup and temporary files, e.g. this is taken from Plack::Loader::Restarter: m![/\\][\._]|\.bak$|^\.?#|~$|_flymake\.p[lm]!;
