trouble with excluding topics

[Aleksander Chlebowski]

1. Excluding a topic with -<topic_name> causes an error:

-- Building function reference -------------------------------------------------
Error: 
! in callr subprocess.
Caused by error in `check_missing_topics(rows, pkg)`:
! All topics must be included in reference index
✖ Missing topics: <topic name>
ℹ Either add to _pkgdown.yml or use @keywords internal
ℹ See `$stdout` for standard output.
Type .Last.error to see the more details.

This seems to have been solved but here we are.

2. Using section - title: "internal" cannot hide aliases, only a whole topic.

I want to leave the reference index to list a class constructor (<class_name>) but hide helpers (e.g. is.<class_name>) and S3 methods. (All the functions in question are described in the same Rd file using @rdname.
I went with

reference:
  - title: <title>
    contents:
      - <class_name>
  - title: "internal"
    contents:
      - ends_with(".<class_name>")

The exclusion by "internal" is ignored, all functions appear in the reference index.

1. Is presumably fixed in the dev version.
2. We don't currently have a solution for this.
