Please don't hesitate to share it you think other people could find it
useful.

Currently the only way to exclude an *entire* file from the publication
process is to play with the :exclude parameter in `org-publish-project-alist'.

We could have a #+PUBLISH: option allowing to tell whether a file should
be published or not.

If we had this, we could then check whether a section without the
:noexport: tag has been modified...  and dynamically set the buffer
publication option based on this.

But this is rather a complicated way, and the gain is merely about
speed.

If someone comes up with something more clever, let's see.

Or if someone would find a new #+PUBLISH option useful outside of this
use-case, let's also see.

Thanks,
