Hi, I have recently seen this:

```
%files -f %{name}.lang -f %{pyproject_files}
```

And I was surprised that it worked. Is that purely accidental, or a supported behavior of `%files -f`?

I was looking for clarification in https://rpm-software-management.github.io/rpm/manual/spec.html#files-section but the `-f` option is only used in one example there.</div>
