+## `include_directories` accepts a string
+
+The `include_directories` keyword argument now accepts plain strings
+rather than an include directory object. Meson will transparently
+expand it so that a declaration like this:
+
+```meson
+executable(..., include_directories: 'foo')
+```
+
+Is equivalent to this:
+
+```meson
+foo_inc = include_directories('foo')
+executable(..., include_directories: inc)
+```
