It would be nice to have feature that allow removing files that
match given name pattern from given or all archives.

I sometimes accidentally leave very large files that shouldn't go
to backups in places where they get included anyway. It's an
unpleasant surprise the next morning to find that last night's
backup file was 500 MB larger than it should have been. Cases
like that would easy to fix if there was a way to delete those files
from the archives. It doesn't matter if the operation would be
slow, IMO.

    I would really need that feature, too.
