On second thought, regarding these arguments (from Stephan Beal) :

> @ is conventionally used by some apps to mean "include list from this file

this is exactly what we need.  Include the (timeline) list from this file 
(implying about this file) 

Plus, if we go with what some other apps do, then a lot of other options may 
have to be revised as they are sometimes used with a completely different 
meaning in other popular apps.

+1 once again for the @ prefix.

>Historically speaking, whoever implements it decides ;).

Oh, good!  I should harry then to implement it first, so I can get it my way 
Seriously, the objection to a prefix comes from those who didn’t even care to 
have this feature in the first place, and who are the least likely to be using 
it quite as often.  But, I like some others, will be using it all the time.  
So, shouldn’t our vote count a little more? 
(OK, I give up, do it whichever way you like.  I guess in the end I will end up 
patching it to work my way, anyway...  It shouldn’t be hard to make a patch to 
have both ways, an –f flag or a @ prefix!)
