GAWK4: Possible to @include in a command line program?
I tried: gawk4 '@include "something.awk"; BEGIN ...'
and variations thereof, but with no success. This all works fine if I put
it into a file and call it, of course.
Error messages are all of the "syntax error"/unrecognized-symbol variety.

this is foo

If you are on Windows and not using a POSIX shell, you may have
quoting issues, but I would have thought that you are well aware of
such things.

My test case was a bit complex - and I'll have to work it up a bit at some
point to see if it still fails. As it was all on the command line, and my
machine has been rebooted, it will take work to re-create it. Anyway, glad
to know that it does work (at least in the basic cases).
P.S. I'm aware that this can be work-arounded by using multiple "-f"
options (or --source).

Hoffs was actually naked when she recorded the song, after being convinced
by Sigerson that Olivia Newton-John got her amazing performances by
recording everything while naked.[9]

Indeed it does. At least in the simple cases.
