That reminds me: if we do either \file_read or :{file}, we should
define relative paths as working like \ir, that is it's relative
to the current script's directory when we're reading from a script.
This is almost always the behavior you want, and the principal
functional problem with the `cat ...` solution is that it doesn't
work that way.
