I can't imagine how this word could be used in standard programs.

Here's a question.  Is there a temporal dependency on the 'fileid' passed
to INCLUDE-FILE ?

On my system 'fileid' for INCLUDE-FILE would need to represent the most
recently opened file.  Otherwise should a compilation error occur the wrong
statistics e.g. file-name will be printed.

AFAICS ANS only guarantees the contents of a file represented by 'fileid'.
The issue of filenames - if/when/how they're stored - is a detail left to the
implementer.  It's no problem for INCLUDED which binds opening of the file
with compilation.  However INCLUDE-FILE potentially separates these two.
