Actually - no. There's no abuse in there /per se/. The nested `#write`
might be part of a macro invocation, such as in:

#write(File,SomeMacro())

where `SomeMacro` might be part of a 3rd party include file that itself
makes heavy use of file operations, e.g. to persist some random number
generator's state across frames or the like.

Most notably, `Parse_String` is implemented as a macro that uses `#write`.
