I'm not sure of the meaning of the above notation, nor what is the
intention.  Coccinelle does have a --include option, but it doesn't mean
the same thing as -I.  It is a way to have a file be included that is not
included according to the normal inclusion strategy.  For example, if a.h
includes b.h which includes c.h, and if one considers that c.h is really
important for having the right type information, but one doesn't want the
cost of including everything via --recursive-includes, then one could put
--include c.h.
