Description
I manage all my hosts through site-specific .ssh files which are in a directory that is set as an include in my primary ~/.ssh/config file as:
`include config.d/*`
SSH doesn't appear to follow includes...it would be amazing if it did! It's otherwise not able to help me.

Research direction
Start with the 001-ssh.sh plugin named in the issue and review how it reads ~/.ssh/config. Check how an `include config.d/*` entry affects the hosts it lists, then verify that hosts from the included files appear in the plugin output. No test file is mentioned, so validate the result through the plugin's SSH host listing.
