That is the fact that zero-argument macro references and file

Definitely a headache as it is now, and a net win to change it.

I have an alternate suggestion :
- change current file inclusion to {%filename} instead of {filename} (that
will be disallowed) (or use any other character

Are you going to fix up including directories some way at the same time?

Indeed I support the basic idea of differentiate file and macro. As a coder,
I also like the #include but as it was said you will lose power.
It's possible. But it's also possible that file inclusions in mid-line
are something we shouldn't be doing, or can be more cleanly handled in
