Description
in #3560 optional env files are allowed at a service level https://docs.docker.com/compose/how-tos/environment-variables/set-environment-variables/#additional-information
however this env file https://docs.docker.com/reference/compose-file/include/#env_file doesnt support being optional would it be possible to also make include level env_files optional using the same syntax?
