Sorry, I think I was being obtuse here in my earlier reply.

I have a vague recollection that there was some version of autoconf,
in the distant past, where sinclude was the only way to do this kind
of inclusion.  Then, once this gets into the code, it tends to stick.

So, I think this is probably just inertia and not something more
obscure.
