Ah, I guess there's no harm in forbidding/ignoring that...

Good point. An option to get a combined summary of both would IMO still 
be useful however - though admittedly not in the case of protocols...

The one that actually sparked the idea for me however was being able to 
  query the built-in ignore-list...
