JeanHeyd - I'd definitely like to have such a facility provided in the
language. There are times when embedding a chunk of data in the binary is
really the best option, and my experience matches what you present in the
paper - it's pretty rotten to do that currently (much less do that portably
/ easily). Thanks for sharing.
