Yeah, I noticed that at the start and never did anything about it.  I think
having an explicit non-kludge separator between the includes and the
expressions is fine, either your patch or just something like:
	$1 == "--" { next }
There is no reason to pass anything like comments through, it's just an
intermediate file.
