There is no distinction between include and include-library-declarations in R6RS, as all that is allowed is a single export and a single import (with any number of libraries, of course) and the rest is code.

The power of procedural macros! :)

PS The only drawback with this approach is that all source code
location information is lost, which can make debugging hard.
