Comment (by knarf):

 The patch looks good, but I disagree with the restriction of only one
 matching expression for each of them. One of the probably most used cases
 is going to be "apply the tolerance A to all files except files matching
 expression X where tolerance B should be applied, and possibly a few
 others like C, D and E. With the current mechanism I would have to build
 an expression which matches !A&!B&!C&!D&!E, which quickly gets hard to
 read and maintain.

 How difficult would it be to have either the first or the last matching
 entry count? (I have a slight preference for the first, would don't care
 much; both can be argued for and against.)
