The same happens with the initial frame; which is very useful for things 
like this:

#if(frame_number = initial_frame)
   //do some one-time calculation and save it to data.inc
#else
   #include "data.inc"
#end

If initial_frame was set to the Initial_Frame setting, and you render a 
subset with a different Subset_Start_Frame, the one-time calculation 
would never be done.
