Having Ord/ParitalOrd based on the exclude flag is extremely confusing, 
please don't do this.

See later comments for a less confusing way.

Is there a reason why you change the error format here?

'adding ... before' sounds a bit odd - maybe "Can be inverted by 
prepending 'exclude:'" would be better here?
Also 'include' is not documented here.

I don't think that .sort()'ing is a good way to separate include/exclude 
groups. PartialEq/PartialOrd/Ord being only based on the exclude flag is 
extremely confusing.

Rather split the GroupFilter into two groups manually via a helper 
(since you need to do it in multiple places), based on the exclude flag.
Then, first process the includes and subtract the excludes afterwards.
I'd do that at [1].

I think calling .iter() is not necessary here.

Typo in 'include'

I think the logic is off here.

If group_filters only includes INCLUDE filters, we only want to include 
those groups.

So .is_empty() returns false and we invert that, we set include_all to 
true... which is not what we want.

Just to illustrate the different cases:
   - no filters: All groups
   - only include filters: ONLY the included ones
   - only exclude filters: ALL BUT the excluded ones
   - both: ONLY the included ones, minus the excluded ones

[1]: I would split the GroupFilters into includes/excludes here.

Same logic error here.
