No, I think original OVI LRM had that same sentence but made statement for
all directives. Ths typo of only saying `include happened in the
change to 1995 P1364 LRM. There are lots of other directives that take
arguments and many directives that must appear outside any module
definition that I think need to be isolated on one line.
Standard should only require C preprocessor type isolated on one line
directives and vendors should be allowed to add enhancements such as allowing
directives than can appear inside modules anywhere on line. Users should
be able to decide if they want the added XL flexibility at the cost of
elaboration speed.
