Eventually.  Maybe.  I have looked at the code in Include.py, and I have
very little confidence in my ability to hack in another feature in an
elegant way without breaking things.  So I'm writing IncludeRevision as
a prototype to see if I can get it to work on its own.

Oh!  I missed that earlier.  I guess I can hold my nose and use a
similar kludge in my IncludeRevision macro for now.  I wish I understood
what was happening (i.e. what does a formatting bug have to do with
caching?), but at least I can get working output for now.
