The parse-time trick is helpful, but it's not perfect. I'm getting an error:
Generic word length does not define a method for the source-file class.
If you're familiar with Ruby's "require" or Python's "import", they look in
the user's current directory, i.e.
C:\CoolStuff\> python coolstuff.py
will have Python search in C:\CoolStuff\ for relevant modules.
I hope that your macro does this. I'm trying to import code from
scriptedmain.factor<https://github.com/mcandre/scriptedmain/blob/master/scriptedmain.factor>into
test.factor<https://github.com/mcandre/scriptedmain/blob/master/test.factor> in
such a way that no matter which directory those two files are in, as long as
they're in the same directory, factor test.factor would work.
If this is what the macro does, could Factor do this automatically? I think
USE and USING would have to be modified in order for that to work.
Cheers,
