'strinclude' is the equivalent of #embed.

 So this is not C.  In comp.lang.c, when a line is very C-like, the fact
that it's not C should be flagged.

I mentioned that particular extension of mine quite a few times in the thread. And here I said it was processed with my 'bcc' compiler, after I'd also mentioned my version of #embed, both in connection with __FILE__.
So, it's not standard C, but I'd normally say 'not C' for examples like this:
    print strinclude($filename)
(At the moment I have one practical C compiler that supports 'strinclude', but zero that support #embed.)
