Euphoria feature request

I wish for a procedure include( filename ) that would work the same as the 
current way to include files.  This way in my editor I'm making, I can have 
a subdirectory (in the directory with the editor in it) called extentions, 
it will have an include file for each file extention the end-user wants to 
be able to edit.  I would need have a include procedure to do this because I 
do not know if the user downloaded support for only 2 extentions or 50 
extentions.

One alternative I could do would be to run dir() on the extentions 
directory, get the list of files to include, have my editor make a file 
called includes.e, write include statements for all those files to include, 
then include includes.e.  But if I did that, I wouldn't be able to bind it 
because I would be making euphoria code.  Maybe I could just keep a copy of 
the eu source code in a sequence in the executable file, and when I wrote 
the includes.e file, I could make my .exw source file for the editor then 
re-bind it, delete all the source files, then delete the editor that is 
running, start the newly made editor, maybe I could just do it silently so 
the user wouldn't notice.

What do you think I should do about it?

Thanks,
Phil
