#6 Exclude all uses of a class automatically

[Paul E.C. Melis]

Currently, excluding a class with exclude() does not cause any uses of that class (like in method parameters or as return value) to be excluded. This could be a useful addition, as it would allow excluding all traces of a certain class (or even other kinds of elements).

Below is an excerpt of a post on pygccxml-development of 29/10/08 posted by Roman leading up to this request:

I can do this. Please open the ticket on SourceForge.
