exclude, glob negation, named export

Expected Behavior

Using exclude option involving a glob negation pattern should generate documentation for named exports.

Actual Behavior

Using this script :

typedoc --html api-doc --entryPoints src/public-api.ts --exclude '!**/foo.ts'"

and this public-api.ts entry point:

export * from './bar';
export * from './baz';
export { Foo } from './foo';

Documentation not generated for Foo

Steps to reproduce the bug

• Go to https://stackblitz.com/edit/typedoc-exclude-named-export
• Look at the README to reproduce the problem

Environment

• Typedoc version: 0.28.1
• TypeScript version: 5.7.2
• Node.js version: v20.19.0
• OS: WebContainers (Stackblitz)

Named exports introduce a new symbol, so TypeDoc's exclude check checks based on public-api.ts rather than the original symbol... it seems reasonable to me to resolve aliased symbols before performing this check.
