I just committed patches to make "include" work with source code.
Previously, it only processed builtins, greatly diminishing both
ficl and include's usefulness.

As a result of this change, the special behavior of the chacters @,
# and - at the beginning of script lines is lost. They have been
replaced as follow:

@       Lines will *not* be echoed anymore by default. Thus, lines
        with "@" can simply remove it. If one wants to echo a line,
        use the character "$", with a space after it.

#       Use "\" followed by a space.

-       Use "%" followed by a space.

Examples:

\ This is a comment
load dont.echo
$ load echo
% load ignore.errors

Since the new "characters" are forth words, they can be used anywhere in
the line. So you can add comments *after* the command, for example. They
can also be used together:

% $ load /kernel.experimental

I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause, but the previous way
is highly incompatible with forth.
