Can you point me at some of these non-map use cases?

It's possible. But it's also possible that file inclusions in mid-line
are something we shouldn't be doing, or can be more cleanly handled in
a different way. I'm supicious of this 'feature'; like C macros,
it invites all kinds of hard-to-debug abuses -- for example, when
an included file isn't a balanced syntactic unit.
