/**
Filter out unwanted `console.log()` output.

Can be useful when you don't control the output, for example, filtering out PropType warnings from a third-party React component.

@param excludePatterns - Console output that matches any of the given patterns are filtered from being logged.

Filter types:
- `string`: Checks if the string pattern is included in the console output.
- `RegExp`: Checks if the RegExp pattern matches the console output.
- `Function`: Receives the console output as a string and is expected to return a truthy/falsy value of whether to exclude it.
@returns A function, which when called, disables the filter.

@example
```
import filterConsole from 'filter-console';

const disableFilter = filterConsole(['🐼']);

const log = () => {
	console.log('');
	console.log('🦄');
	console.log('🐼');
	console.log('🐶');
};

log();

disableFilter();

log();

// $ node example.js
//
// 🦄
// 🐶
//
// 🦄
// 🐼
// 🐶
```
