   Hello @GutoVeronezi 
   
   Thank you for your PR.
   
   The name `setSelectedFieldNames1 is confusing because it is not symmetric 
(for lack of a better word) with `setExcludeFieldNames`, I think it would be 
best as `setIncludeFieldNames` which then is a bit odd since ALL fields are 
included by default, so there should be _clear_ documentation that using 
`setIncludeFieldNames` overrides this default behavior.
   
   The following behavior should throw an `IllegalStateException` IMO:
   ```
          ReflectionToStringBuilder reflectionToStringBuilder = new 
ReflectionToStringBuilder(example, ToStringStyle.JSON_STYLE);
          reflectionToStringBuilder.setIncludedFieldNames("a", "b", "e");
          reflectionToStringBuilder.setExcludedFieldNames("a", "b", "e"); // 
throws IllegalStateException?
          System.out.println(reflectionToStringBuilder.build()); // throws 
IllegalStateException?
   ```
   IOW what does it mean to set a field as both included and excluded? Does the 
"last API call win" or, does the code simply throw an `IllegalStateException`  
if the includes and excludes set intersect?
