Could be done, but it would mean a lot more disk access for the cache.
It would have to read the properties too.

No, inclusion has a higher priority than exclusion (for the
overlays/cache). That's because that way, you can exclude everything,
then include only your working copies (otherwise you'd have to include
your working copies, then exclude everything else path by path).

It wouldn't really solve that problem. The open handles are dealt with
by the cache, but it can only do so if the corresponding app also
handles all the required window messages (see my earlier post about
it). Without those messages sent, the cache can't know when to close
the handles.
