Summary:

The include path mechanism currently appends the file name to the path, which requires the path to end in /. Instead, check if the path ends in a separator, and if not, add one.

Current Version:

v2.17.1

Also, if it cannot find the #included file, the error message should reference the file name that it did not find.

Should the milestone for this be bumped? This would be great to get in.

Hi,

could the code also ignore whitespace before and after the statement?
