Visual Studio doesn't open all of the *.cs files listed in the CSProj file, they're only pulled in by MSBuild while building. Also MSBuild supports wildcards today and it is plenty fast - it is just Visual Studio that screws it up.

As far as "exclude single files from build easier"... if you want to optimize for that why not invert the paradigm? Instead of listing every file that IS included, list the ones that aren't.

We will support both inclusive and exclusive patterns.
Valid points. We'll see what they do!
