            Whitelist of items to translate. These use the name-matcher syntax (note: this differs
            a bit from the ocaml NameMatcher).

            Note: This is very rough at the moment. E.g. this parses `u64` as a path instead of the
            built-in type. It is also not possible to filter a trait impl (this will only filter
            its methods). Please report bugs or missing features.

            Examples:
              - `crate::module1::module2::item`: refers to this item and all its subitems (e.g.
                  submodules or trait methods);
              - `crate::module1::module2::item::_`: refers only to the subitems of this item;
              - `core::convert::{impl core::convert::Into<_> for _}`: retrieve the body of this
                  very useful impl;

            When multiple patterns in the `--include` and `--opaque` options match the same item,
            the most precise pattern wins. E.g.: `charon --opaque crate::module --include
            crate::module::_` makes the `module` opaque (we won't explore its contents), but the
            items in it transparent (we will translate them if we encounter them.)
