Hi!

I think, it will be nice to have option like noblacklist for blacklist, but having same effect on whitelist instead.

So, it will be possible to include system-wide profiles in custom one, but override some whitelist directives defined there (for example, ${DOWNLOADS} or ${HOME}/Downloads).

May be useful if user do not want to expose whole downloads dir to application, but wants to only whitelist "personal" subdir inside.

You can try it out:

       --nowhitelist=dirname_or_filename
              Disable whitelist for this directory or file.

and a "nowhitelist" command for profile files.
