Suggestion: Replace #+SETUP_FILE with #+INCLUDE

Suggestion: Replace #+SETUP_FILE with #+INCLUDE

[Nicolas Goaziou]

Hello,

I'd like to remove #+SETUP_FILE (that is #+SETUPFILE in the old
exporter) from the new exporter.

The reasoning behind this is that #+INCLUDE already provides a similar
feature (and some others). I.e. you can almost always do:

#+INCLUDE: "my-setup.org"

instead of

#+SETUP_FILE: "my-setup.org"

The only difference is that contents of #+SETUP_FILE are not included in
the final document; they are just read. The only use case I can think of
is when one's want to share the same keywords as a file but without its
contents. But then, it's possible to strip keywords from both files and
store them in a third one, that will be included everywhere.

Therefore, I don't see any reason to keep maintaining the #+SETUP_FILE
keyword. I'd rather remove it and suggest to use #+INCLUDE: keyword
instead.


Any objection?

None really.  I use both and distinguish them in some validation tool,
which I would happily and easily adapt! :-)

Fine with me. This makes a lot of sense, when they don't differ that much, and
when we don't know exactly which one to use in which context (= my view).

FWIW, none on my side.
