Example - Union of Excluded Categories in Two Dimensions

This example describes the union of excluded categories in two dimensions.
Custom view A: exclude Camping Equipment
Custom view B: exclude Asia Pacific
Because custom view A is shown all categories except the Camping Equipment,
and custom view B is shown all categories except Asia Pacific, the union shows all
categories. Each custom view is shown the cells of the siblings of the excluded
categories. The only area not shown is the intersection of the two exclusions:
Camping Equipment and Asia Pacific.
