Output of restic version

What should restic do differently? Which functionality do you think we should add?
Following #21887, I'd like to add reason categories to excluded-item output, such as pattern, marker file or filesystem boundary.
What are you trying to do? What problem would this solve?
This would help explain why a path was skipped when several exclusion rules are enabled.
Would this be a welcome follow-up? I can implement it.
