I understand the idea however I wonder what are the gains for the user? On
any case the file has to be at the right place, etc.

Also as it is internals only, it could be nicer to expose the prepend
config using the existing directive with options like first, before, last
for the insert position.

While being at it, a similar feature can be added to auto prepend/append as
it can be very useful in user land as well.

Cheers,
Pierre
