Problem/Motivation
This issue #2994956: Excluding sniffs from phpcs is resolved with this explanation:
> With the --exclude option you can only exclude full sniffs like Drupal.Commenting.FunctionComment. You cannot exclude parts like Drupal.Commenting.FunctionComment.MissingParamType.
But this doesn't exaplin what is a full sniff and what is a part sniff -- is it 3 pieces in the name vs 4?
The docs page at https://www.drupal.org/docs/contributed-modules/code-review-module/php-c... needs to explain this, otherwise you see a sniff in a report such as 'Drupal.Files.TxtFileLineLength.TooLong', try to use it with a --sniffs or --exclude flag and you get:
> ERROR: The specified sniff code "Drupal.Files.TxtFileLineLength.TooLong" is invalid
