It's odd that schema_exclusion is a global var, but schemas/excluded are not.

Also, it seems unnecessary to have two schemas vars, since they can't be used
together.  Maybe there's a better way than what I did in 003.

It's preferred to write cell != NULL

Maybe it's clearer to write this with =ANY() / != ALL() ?
See 002.
