Hmm.  Couldn't get rx (or rx-to-string) to work for me.  Kept getting an
error that a stringp was expected for the argument to :exclude. I tried
variations on:

  :exclude (rx-to-string (seq (or "init" "calendar-beorg") ".org"))

Reverted to using a simple regex as above with proper escapes.  Can I
suggest making the complex example in 14.3.2 of the Org Manual use a
better example regex (in rx form?) as a hint to what :exclude can do?
