Today, I've learnt something new.

$ cat a.ly
\version "2.22.1"

\include "b.ly"
$ cat b.ly
{ c' }
$ lilypond -dsafe a.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.22.1
Processing `a.ly'
Parsing...
a.ly:3:10: error: include files are not allowed in safe mode
\include
         "b.ly"
fatal error: failed files: "a.ly"


This dates back to

commit 14ee7d1ba5ac5b0e0722ef98b7de223168f5da58

    Use be_safe_global for determining whether file inclusion
    is allowed.

Any insights? It would be fantastic if safe mode became the
default, but disallowing include files would make for a
pretty unusable LilyPond then… Am I missing something?

Best,
