Yeah you're right.  It is indeed elegant to do it this way..

Very neat!  I like that idea of making Include/Exclude paths a special 
shorthand wrapper for dazukoIncludeEvent() and dazukoExcludeEvent() too. 
I am glad this feature addition actually makes so much sense for dazuko, 
because it would really help to improve performance (for my app at 
least).. it's fortunate that you already can think of an easy way to 
implement it, as well..

I am really happy you like this feature and don't hesitate to implement it 
-- let me know if you want tests to throw at it as I have an app now 
that I wrote that could easily take advantage of this feature and 
therefore I am poised to help you test it! :)
