Include (and exclude) can take a first argument of "file" or "list".
With "file" the following string is a "glob" expression.
"file" is the default but I like to specify it anyway.

With "include list" the string that follows is the name of a file
containing "globs", one per line.

You can have multiple "include file" globs if all but the first
are "include file append".  So

  include file "./[a-gA-G]*

could also be specified as

  include file "./[a-g]*
  include file append "./[A-G]*
