The definition of BUG that I use is "an implementation that does not conform to
the designer's specifications". Thus I do not see this as a bug, anymore than
'goto' not being supported is a bug.

Not that I'm saying that a way of multiple 'include'-ing file is a bad thing. I
would support a new key word, like 'insert', to implement this concept though and
leave 'include' alone.
