 You can specify a list of modules to be compiled first using
 the `COMPILE_FIRST` variable.
 
+You can also use the `ERLC_EXCLUDE` variable to prevent some
+modules from being compiled by the core compiler. Note that
+`ERLC_EXCLUDE` is a list of module names (i.e., no file extension

 If `{id, "git"},` is found in your project's `.app.src`, the
 extended output of `git describe ...` will replace it. This
 can be retrieved at runtime via `application:get_key/2`.
