Inline adoc when include has no additional value (#1940)
Inline adoc files when they are included exactly once.

Also fix language tags because this inlining gives us better information
on what language the code is written in.

== Why is this an issue?
Appending '$' to any identifier forces it to the String data type, but this usage is obsolete and should only appear when differentiating string-specific functions from variant functions, such as ``++Left$()++`` versus ``++Left()++``.
Instead, Strings should be explicitly declared with the String datatype.
