No input at compile-time or runtime?
A compiler necessarily has to have the source code of the program as input, so what are the limitations? A C program can use #include; does that extend to directives like #embed, or is that considered cheating?
No. The FileSystem xml project Baby X FS (Baby X file system) was inspired by embed, but it is my superior alternative.
