  #embed "clang.exe"

 I'm asking myself wether it would be necessary to extend the language
for that. I've got a small commandline-tool that makes a const'd char
-array from any binary file. This may take some time to compile if the
file was large but recompiling is necessary only if the binary file
was changed. Compared to that sth. like #embed looks bloatish for me.
 

Yes. That took maybe half an hour to add to the Baby X resource compiler. Strings need escaping, and then they might be embedded in
the XML script or loaded in from an external file, and they can be Unicode, so altogther far more work.
