My last attempt was hosed because I put a dot on a line by its self.  Oops.

Actually, it is quite a stretch if you consider the internals and the
coding that would be required to make it work.  I'm speaking in the context
of Majordomo 2 here, because I don't see much point in trying to hack
anything into 1.9x.  config is gone, replaced by a simpler mechanism that
lets you set one variable at a time (or all of them, like the old command,
or various groups of them).  info and intro are replaced by a more general
put mechanism.  Syntax checking doesn't happen on text files uploaded to
the server.

If you allow an include file syntax, you should do it for every variable.
That's a nightmare, _especially_ in the context of the new system where the
on-disk config files are _not parsed_.  They're saved as Perl code (because
it's very quick to load).

If you want a global set of taboo headers, why not just use the global
taboo headers?  That is, after all, why they're there.
