%INCLUDE{"Thatweb.SomeTopic" pattern="foo(.*)bar"}% returns an empty string if the pattern does not match. (This is as far as I got with Item8903.)

Sometimes that is useful, but I think the default behaviour should be a warning. This could be controlled with the warn option. That would makes sense for warn="on" and warn="off", but I don't think using the warn option would make sense for a custom warning e.g. warn="I cannot do it Captain - $topic does not exist!"

This should not go into 1.1 because
  1. The spec is not clear, and
  2. I think a good implementation would involve changing the interface to the IncludeHandlers.
