 Yes, you can blame me.  The first bullet point in #8087 explains the bug
 that allowed this behavior.

 I think Ryan has proposed the right solution in "exclude_tree," for which
 I've attached a patch.  The previous behavior---while admittedly having
 the weight of precedent---also suffered from being ambiguous.  In other
 words, I don't think one would expect that having the "exclude" argument
 by itself would exclude all descendants, had one not already observed this
 behavior. So "exclude_tree" provides the needed behavior along with
 clarity.
