Ok, I guess this is another issue that requires consensus.

Note: this is purely for documentation, release notes, and user-visible
error messages. This does not have any impact on the syntax, I think
we've got a strong consensus on that already and I would prefer not to
break that discussion open again.

1. Operator Exclusion Constraints (current)
2. Generic/Generalized/General Exclusion Constraints
3. Exclusion Constraints (has the potential to cause confusion with
constraint_exclusion)
