I am unsure on the naming of the argument. Is except better?

@mrjsj except sounds better. Can you rename it, then we are good to go

[mrjsj]

@ion-elgreco forgot bare except is reserved, so have to change it to except_cols, except_columns. Or stick with exclude. Any other ideas?

[ion-elgreco]

Except_cols is fine

[ion-elgreco]

@mrjsj can you squash your commits and sign off please? :)

[mrjsj]

@ion-elgreco done - i hope. :)
