Alternatively, we could allow a ':nofail' parameter to include so that a user could explicitly turn on silent failures for missing include files. Thus if a user really wanted to do something along the lines of what Rob proposed, they could do that, e.g.:

include :nofail "my_optional_vacation_script";
