   Also does include / exclude support globs? According to http://json.schemastore.org/tsconfig they do. I thought they were just folders & files. Am I wrong?

   they did.
   include is a new entry added in TS 2.0; both include and exclude now support glob patterns. that was merged in a few weeks back, see microsoft/TypeScript#5980

   This section needs better docs : https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript-Handbook/blob/master/pages/tsconfig.json.md#details only mentions files / include.

   The updated documentation is currently in branch release-2.0 and not in master. we will be merging this into master next week. so give the updated page a look at let us know if you believe it still needs updates: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript-Handbook/blob/release-2.0/pages/tsconfig.json.md

   Perhaps we can remove all files / exclude / include and just filesGlob (big breaking change I know).

   I do not think we intend to support "fileGlobs".
