compose SUBROUTINE_PATH from different include files
I am currently reworking my router. Just about everything standard. Ceaser seemed to have a saying: divide and conquer. So I split my ini in different files just like in the example "/usr/share/doc/linuxcnc/examples/sample-configs/sim/axis/ini_with_includes".
The manual V2.8.4 dated 22-09-29 says in 8.2.24 [RS274NGC] section
What i'd like to do, if it was in bash would be adding successively to the path variable about like thisSUBROUTINE_PATH = ncsubroutines:/tmp/testsubs:lathesubs:millsubs - Specifies a colon ( separated list of up to 10 di-
rectories to be searched when single-file subroutines are specified in gcode. These directories are searched after searching
[DISPLAY]PROGRAM_PREFIX (if it is specified) and before searching [WIZARD]WIZARD_ROOT (if specified). The
paths are searched in the order that they are listed. The first matching subroutine file found in the search is used. Directo-
ries are specified relative to the current directory for the ini file or as absolute paths. The list must contain no intervening
whitespace.
path="$path:nextpath"
Is this possible at all? if, how?

#INCLUDE generally inserts a whole file at that point, it doesn't interleave and combine sections.
So the INI find system will look for SUBROUTINE_PATH in the first [RS274NGC] that it sees and use that.
So I don't think that it is as easy as having a reference to the current path, I just don't think that it will find the second and third stanzas.

So its a double no go. Thought, it would be a nice feature.

What I'd like to try in "function handle_includes () " is roughly:
- compose a list of all include files that contain a string like "SUBROUTINE_PATH ="
- add all the paths following the string "SUBROUTINE_PATH +=" say in "composed-path" variable
- eliminate double occurances and then count the elements separated by ":", as we seem to be limited to 10 subdirs or 9 ":". If 9 ":" are exceeded, throw a corresponding message and abort (side note: why is the limit 10?)
- proceed with the composition of all include files
- revisit the part with string "SUBROUTINE_PATH = xyz" and replace "xyz" with "composed-path"
Any objections?

Here I see the keywords "PATH_PREPEND" and "PATH_APPEND". I have to dig in the source code to see how it's done. I guess the very code could be inspiring
