\input file with parameter ?

\input file with parameter ?

[luigi scarso]

Hi
today , while writing some code I have made a mistake like this
\input combine[file=depliant-block.pdf]
instead of
\input combine

(I have combine.tex in my path of course)

After a while I have thought :
"Is it possibile to implement this (as a macro) in mkiv ?"

I think yes, but I'm not sure

(Of course, on can write things like
\Input[style=combine, file=fo] and so on)

parsing of \input is somewhat special as the name has to be delimited by 
a space or unexpandable token

i dunny, but is some weird syntax you're proposing
