That means you have to define the hosted environment in FAR more detail than
is appropriate for an embedded language, AND in more detail than is justified
at this point. There's no guarantee that a Javascript implementation even
has a file system available to it through ANY path.

The include you're talking about, that belongs in the hosting environment,
not the language. I'll agree that the hosting environment sucks, but I've
already made that point, but it's NOT something that belongs in the language.

There's stuff above here
