embedded cat

( cmd; cat file; cmd ) | cmd
A generic method to mix both fixed/existing and dynamic output.

Rather special example: This was useful for me on a Redhat Linux, where man(1) otherwise annoyingly
would intersperse the output with headers and footers for a print version, which is rarely used, though...
I tried: ( echo -e ".pl 1100i"; cat "$1"; echo ".pl \\n(nlu+10\n" ) | tbl | nroff -man
