I was wondering about that as I was looking at the various (:paste:)
options.  It may just be that recipes can register options into
an array like $IncludeOptions, each option providing a subroutine
that is called when the option is present.

And I'm still looking to develop a fmt=include option to (:pagelist:)
that allows include options to be used with pagelist.  Then one could
do something like

   (:pagelist group=PITS order=-time fmt=include fields=Summary,Priority:)

to grab the Summary and Priority lines out of each page of the PITS
group, ordered by time of last page modification.
