Well, "exclusive" and "inclusive" pronouns in natlangs don't (AFAIK) generally
extend beyond:

1st person inclusive: me/we and you
1st person exclusive: me and him/her/it/them/us (but not you)

I always wanted to put in an "exclusive you" for "present company excepted"
situations.  (i.e., 'you as a group, but not you as an individual')... but
that'd be a little much, I think.
