[off] some day you must really take a look at our command line jungle :)) (59)

[on] However, I admit your concerns. I think that "include" is the most nature 
name you could come up with. Unfortunately others came up with the same name 
for something completely different.

By the way, there is a theoretical problem with escaping. If an application is 
not prepared for that syntax, it might fail. I mean chances, probably fail 
probably not. It is certainly decreased by escaping because the syntax which 
may collide would be more complex, but the probability never will be 0 (zero).

However, sticking to escaping we could use C style inclusion if it does not 
hurt too much: 
"include <file>" or something like that. I don't know how many people use this 
feature of gengetopt.
