Re: speed/efficiency of INCLUDERC vs. actual recipe?

Robert Brown asked,

For one recipe, no, but Robert later said about what would go between the
braces,

| hairier [than the example in his post].)

I'm with Philip Guenther on this one: the human factor of maintainability is
more important than anything else.  Every open INCLUDERC requires an open
file descriptor, so there is a limit to how deeply you can nest INCLUDERC
calls, but Robert wasn't suggesting nesting them deeply.
