+/// In this case, It is used specifically to include the
+/// `ui.rs` files of the imag binaries.
+/// The imag project (accidentally?) followed the convention
+/// to write a `ui.rs` containing the function
+/// `fn build_ui(app : App) -> App`.
+/// This macro allows us to use the same named functions by
+/// putting them each into their own module.
