You provided 3 features in the same PR.

1. filter table;
2. filter table column;
3. filter table + column.

Please submit one PR per feature. It is easier to review and merge it. Item 1 has been already in my radar, please create a PR with it. Item 2 and 3 are the same feature. IMO the syntax should be:

include-table-column = '*.columna, table1.*, table2.columnb'
exclude-table-column = 'table3.columnc, *.columnd'

I will separate the features, but let me explain my idea (what I needed):
1- table: include or exclude some tables (forgot to tie with schema)
2- column: exclude some columns that matches (column_name regex) on all tables
3- table-column: exclude a column of a specific table, not all columns with that name
