Ops. That's a problem in the documentation. I looked at the unit tests and
confirmed as well with a test program:

include file.e
include misc.e

sequence l
l = read_lines("test.e")
pretty_print(1, l, {2})

The output is:

$ exu test.e 
{
  "include file.e",
  "include misc.e",
  "",
  "sequence l",
  "l = read_lines("test.e")",
  "pretty_print(1, l, {2})"
}
