Add support to exclude by file regexp

[tzvatot]

I want to be able to exclude the linter for files ending with "_test.go" suffix. Is there a way to do it? is there a regexp exclusion support/

There's no existing feature and nothing like that is planned at the moment. Use of a regex or glob for this purpose can easily misfire and unintentionally mute errors in new files that are added after the exclusion is introduced. See similar issue here #250

I'm surprised you're trying to exclude test files where I would expect you want to check any and all errors? 🤔

Actually, I didn't realize we do have a feature which should let you accomplish what you want. From the README:

The -ignoretests flag disables checking of _test.go files. It takes no arguments

Does that work for you?
