Why a new plugin?
Some composer packages contain files and directories that do not belong to production servers, but composer does not solve this.
Exists a lot of plugins for composer trying to solve this issue, they don't have advanced patterns to filtering or they are not user definable. Or some have no configuration and it works automatically and delete almost everything and then the package does not work.
That's why I created a new one that allows advanced filtering by glob patterns.
If you miss a feature or find bug, please, create an issue.
