No, sorry, I wasn't really being clear. Jed said it better than I could:

I'm for strict, precise semantics over fuzzy permissive  semantics. I don't
think being permissive is likely to cause harm, so I'm fine with checking
both.

I just don't want the extra /include to be a required part because it
breaks consistency with other packages (none of which require the extra
/include).
