Exclude and include tables

There are two tables in the database named excludes and includes. What are they for and how do I use them?

I did some experimenting. I am indexing a site that has a calendar script in it that adds about 1000 needless URIs to the index. These URIs are found in a directory called calendars. So, I looked up the site id in the sites table and then manually added a record to the excludes table and set the sit id field to the id of the site and added "calendars/" without the quotes. I indexed the site again and the directory was not indexed. So, I can see that it works. Cool!
Other than manually entering data into the fields, I don’t see that there is any other method to use this feature. I cannot find any documentation on it either. Is this a feature that is being developed?
I have not tested the includes table and am not quite sure what it might be used for.
Anyway, I thought I would share what I have discovered so far in this wonderful mystery script.

You can also add entries to the exclude table from the admin panel. The includes table is for use when you want to LIMIT_TO_DIRECTORY and is emptied after index.
