(Yeah, I saw some previous discussion about this topic during my searching, but that ended with Rainer confirming that the processing was in "glob" order. It's good to have new confirmation of that, since it's pretty clear that Ubuntu's distributed /etc/rsyslog.c/* config files are named with that assumption, and in any case it would greatly reduce the usability of discard/STOP if the include order wasn't defined...)
