This is good, that's what "include" means in C and PHP. Include it
as if it were part of the original template.

This is a good compromise.
The only thing is, it's a bit magical that a string literal means
a filename. It would be nice if the syntax made that explicit.
How about #include for the file and #eval for the placeholder?
That parallels many other languages.
For those who don't like the 'verbatim' attribute, we could instead have
a 'parse' attribute with the opposite meaning. But I think most of the
time people would want their includes parsed, no? The most common
operation is the one that should be the default.
Alternatives are:
#include verbatim
#include verbatim=1
#includeVerbatim
#include_verbatim
"Verbatim" means you get exactly what was input without any changes,
word for word, character for character.

I like the new proposal, "raw" instead of "verbatim". It connotes
the right thing, is widely used in more or less this sense in computer
circles, and it's a word everybody knows.
