Suggestion for simpler include syntax #2

Feel free to shoot me down here, but how about the following:

[[ include: Foo.fountain]]

As I see it, the advantages of dropping the # and appending a : are:

  • "It's cleaner" -- Justin Timberlake
  • It conforms more with the YAML-style metadata/title-page frontmatter
  • If the include does not resolve to a file, they can be parsed as a regular note and still make sense, e.g.
[[ include: that part where she goes back for the dog.. ]]
  • ...but it's more likely a writer will write, which will be ignored:
[[ include that idea with the monkey butler stealing the martini ]]

Thoughts?
