Description

§

(include <string_1> <string_2> ...)
(include-ci <string_1> <string_2> ...)

Semantics: Both include and include-ci take one or more filenames expressed as string literals, apply an implementation-specific algorithm to find corresponding files, read the contents of the files in the specified order as if by repeated applications of read, and effectively replace the include or include-ci expression with a begin expression containing what was read from the files. The difference between the two is that include-ci reads each file as if it began with the #!fold-case directive, while include does not.

Note: Implementations are encouraged to search for files in the directory which contains the including file, and to provide a way for users to specify other directories to search.
