#25 Problem on ActionScript's "#include"

[Nick Sabalausky]

Adobe's ActionScript implementation of ECMAScript/JavaScript has an import syntax that looks like this:

#include "anotherFile.as"

When JSL encounters that line, it gives "SyntaxError: illegal character" and stops processing the file. Using the "jsl:ignore" feature does *not* change this behavior. The only workaround is to comment out the "#include"s before running JSL, and uncomment them afterwards.

Ideally, JSL should have an option to not only permit this syntax, but also interpret it as an implicit "jsl:import".

But at the very least, "jsl:ignore" should suppress this error on "#include", "#initclip", "#endinitclip", and any other such identifier ActionScript might have added since then.
