-i would mean "assume everything has pragma(auto_add)".

Note how I could not say "root". :) Where does it come from? Why root? 
Most programmers wouldn't understand it at all. "Header" wouldn't mean 
anything to anybody unless they are coming from C or C++.

And you said "automatic inclusion". Perhaps pragma(auto_include) but 
then it would confuse C and C++ programmers because they "include" 
header files.

Tough naming situation... :)
