 This rule has one option. The option is an object containing the definition of all restricted `zones` and the optional `basePath` which is used to resolve relative paths within.
 The default value for `basePath` is the current working directory.
-Each zone consists of the `target` path and a `from` path. The `target` is the path where the restricted imports should be applied. The `from` path defines the folder that is not allowed to be used in an import.
+Each zone consists of the `target` path and a `from` path. The `target` is the path where the restricted imports should be applied. The `from` path defines the folder that is not allowed to be used in an import. An optional `except` may be defined for a zone, allowing exception paths that would otherwise violate the related `from`. Note that `except` is relative to `from` and cannot backtrack to a parent directory.
