   Using include-file

   Do you know practical cases of using "include-file" in programs?   
      
   I can't imagine how this word could be used in standard programs.   
      
   Only one idea: to skip BOM (byte-order mark) before include the file   
   contents.   
      
   Using other system-specific means, this word can probably be used to   
   organize inter-process communication: when a file descriptor (e.g. a   
   pipe) is passed from one process to another and used as the input   
   source.  But why do you need to load Forth code this way?
