func_documentation_string: Creates a function that can perform a wildcard match to compare against a function;
  the function returns `null` if no match, `"exact"` for an exact match, or a number
  to indicating the number of segments in the package (eg `qx.util.*` will match
  `qx.util.format.DateFormat` will return 2 because there is `qx` and `util`)
  
  @param include {String[]} the wildcard specs to include
  @param exclude {String[]} the wildcard specs to exclude
  @return {Function}
