Right. I'm trying to have "[import ..]" work as easy as Doxygen does, 
but for quickbook. As documenting the library I'm working on would 
otherwise be a serious PITA. And I'd rather avoid using Doxygen for it 
as it's much easier to deal with quickbook directly. Ultimately I want 
to be able to:

===
[import boost/predef/*.h]
[import boost/predef/*/*.h]
[import boost/predef/*/*/*.h]
===

And have all the documentation that's embedded in those source files 
injected into the quickbook stream. Without me having to maintain what 
the files are, or what they contain.
