Hello David,

thanks for your time in writing back. Unfortunately, I think I was
unclear about what I am trying to do.

I am aware of the include directive. It has nothing to do with my
goals.

I am trying to tell rsyslog: "hey, all files that you write, append
the following suffix to their names!", or "hey, all files that you
write, run their names through this filter and use the output as
actual filename!".

I want this because it's a cleaner way to replace all hard-coded
filenames with templated filenames, than to change every instance of
a hard-coded filename.

Am I making myself clearer now?
