I agree there's a good case for the new feature. I think someone mentioned tab completion upthread, and that doesn't make so much sense to me. This only makes sense nested in a script - in fact if it's not called from inside an included script (via -f or \i) it should possibly error out (if it already does this I apologise - I haven't looked at the patch).
I think \ir can stand on its own. In the patch, the \ir command falls back to \i behaviour if there's no file being processed currently. So, I think tab-completion makes sense for this command. And if someone wishes they can stop using \i altogether and \ir will give them old and new bheaviour seamlessly.
