The problem with adding a trailing newline if there's not one is
that there's then no way to do an (:include:) that doesn't have
a trailing newline.  :-)

I think the real answer is that I need to fix the lines= pattern so
that it grabs whatever text is available and doesn't require the
trailing newline.  (But that pattern is complex enough already... so
I've been reluctant to do it.)
