You would have to do something like

include 10-30
exclude 17
exclude 18
exclude 20

instead of

include 10-30
exclude 17-20
include 19

While the first is easier to understand, the 2nd one allows (in my
opinion) to build a cleaner solution for complex filtering.

However both are in my opinion fine solutions. I you think having 2
lists is a better solution I can implement that as well.
