Is it possible to split the configuration file into modules? Lets say I just use the ~/.i3/config as an entry point to import e.g. ~/.i3/keybindings or ~/.i3/whatever. In this scenario one could use some VCS to synchronize the modules over multiple nodes and just need to modify the ~/.i3/config to import certain modules on each node.

Short motivation: For example on notebooks I want to start services like xfce4-power-manager, which are overhead on desktop PC's. So it would be great if one could out-source this to e.g. ~/.i3/notebook...
