This was asked many years ago but never answered. Would it be possible to refer to already-established classes in custom parameter include or exclude lists? It sure would be easier to have
Noodler; 60; 1; 1; exclude:@Uppercase
than
Noodler; 60; 1; 1; exclude:A,AE,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,OE,P,Q,R,S,T,Thorn,U,V,W,X,Y,Z
(especially with classes like @Uppercase that that can be auto-generated, and that can be updated as glyphs are added to the font during development).
That is a interesting idea.

I hope it gets implemented. It would immensely with projects like my current one, which applies different parameter filters to the cases and has a large number of instances to update.
Another way the filter parameters could be more powerful and less painful is if the include/exclude parts could use wildcards and key wildcards as described in the Webfonts tutorial. So:
Noodler; 60; 1; 1; exclude: subCategory=Uppercase
