~leave_here alias for 'not is_included'

[majidaldo]

I rely heavily on not is_included to process my devenvs. I'm assuming that this is the way it's expressed in use cases (to be useful). But thinking about the negation of inclusion is too much to think about. I find myself always having to think about it. I think it's just simpler to think about the intent of its use.

Yes.
Our brains have problems to process negatives.

leave_here...
The first thing that come to my mind is an is_root but I think it is much similar to root(anoter var already present).
@nicoddemus do you have any suggestion about a variable name?

As a temporary workaround you could add (maybe at the top) {% set leave_here = not is_included %} and then use leave_here as a variable normally.

Not at the moment :/

Yes. I already do something like that #112 (comment)

Well, root should be ~root_pth.

To use 'root' language, at_root, inclusion_root, at_inclusion_root? The user would have to understand the processing of the devenvs as a tree where each devenv is a 'root' for included devenvs (not saying it's a bad thing).

Yeah there are two 'tree' concepts to deal with: the filesystem and the inclusion tree.

My bad, you are right root is relative to the current devenv file.

Maybe we could deprecate the root variable naming and name it file_location (or devenv_file_location) since there is a request to support referencing devenv files from the web and use the alias is_top_level = not is_included to avoid root related terms.

this_file_path, and this_file_dir.
and
is_base
