Has the joke flown over my head, or have you conflated the words "conflate" (confuse) and "conflagrate" (burn)?

Edit: I honestly think I might have just misunderstood some play on words you're trying to make. It would be something around setting namespaces and inclusion on fire, but none of the combinations I've tried in my head work out quite right.

It confused me for a long time because:

- Other languages like C++ and C# emphasize how much namespaces are _not_ connected to files at all

- I just ignored it and wrote everything in one big file, because the Rust compiler is just as slow either way. Even in C++ it's arguable whether splitting a file will result in faster or slower compiles, because of the outrageous behavior of #include

But once I realized every file is a module, it slowly started to make sense.

Rust modules are primarily about namespacing, which is why the book only mentions the inclusion behavior in one short section at the end of the relevant chapter. For a non-namespacing include, there’s the `include!` macro.
