I think that "include" is the most = nature name you could come up with. Unfortunately others came up with th= e same name for something completely different. By the way, there is a theoretical problem with escaping. If an applicat= ion is not prepared for that syntax, it might fail. I mean chances, prob= ably fail probably not. It is certainly decreased by escaping because th= e syntax which may collide would be more complex, but the probability ne= ver will be 0 (zero). However, sticking to escaping we could use C style inclusion if it does = not hurt too much:=20 "include <file>" or something like that. I don't know how many people us= e this feature of gengetopt.
