Well, if we didn't have "Include", mixing one's .ssh/config out of globally-maintained and local/individual files (without using some preprocessor) would be a nonstarter ...
... wait. Do you mean to replace every single "ProxyCommand nc ..." line in the global file with an "Include my_proxying_oneliner_for_site_XYZ"?
[runs test](... OK, need to keep that one-liner in a subdir disjunct from the *existing* wildcard "Include"s, and "Include" takes pathes relative to ~/.ssh, not relative to the file where the "Include" occurs ...)
It *works*, but I wonder how *scalable* that approach is, with read()s zig-zagging between config files like a March hare ... ?
