Maybe soelim(1) could recognize that the argument is not a file name ( \ being
a dead giveaway ) and simply leave the reference in place for interpretation by
groff? As long at the referenced file does not require preprocessor
interpolation ...
And maybe have groff recognize a special form of .so :
.so filename [ preprocessor_command_line ]
.e.g.
.ds filename FILENAME
.so \*[filename] "tbl - | eqn -"
implies
cat FILENAME | tbl - | eqn -
or equivalently
<FILENAME tbl - | eqn -
