Options --except=create,show,... and --only=index,store,... in make:controller --resource

[beaubus]

A lot of time I use Partial Resource Routes:

Route::resource('invoices', InvoiceController::class)->except(['create', 'show']);
Route::resource('tags', TagsController::class)->only(['index', 'store', 'destroy']);

And every time I manually remove unused methods from the controller.

There is already --api flag, which removes 'create' and 'edit'.

Would it be cool to have --except and --only options or is it only me, who find it time-saving?

php artisan make:controller InvoiceController --resource --except=create,show
php artisan make:controller TagController --resource --only=index,store,destroy

Technically it doesn't remove them. It uses a different stub.
