The idea is basically being able to call and capture the
output of a program at compile time, similar to a string
import.
Has anyone thought about this since?
I know I for one would still love this.

My argument against this is simple, and can be summed up in one
sentence: "Why yes, you tried to build my code, so I deleted
all of your source code."
I think something like this would have a compile flag to enable
it for security. I don't think I would be too worried about it.
