Hm, is that like the xedit (VM/CMS) 'exclude' command?  Sometimes I want
to compare two sections of code that have another section inbetween them.
I just tell xedit not to show me from line A to line B.  Another funky use
of it is I tell it to show me all lines with 'alpha' and not 'beta', kind
of like a funky grep.
