Anthony,
I spent a whole paragraph saying that this is just to save me time. This
is not a syntax proposal or anything.

Hmmm... could we probably store this in some config-file-like storage? If
you had something like ResEdit's TMPL editor for these, we could provide a
simple UI to edit stuff like this. Oh well, we'll find a way to achieve
this.

Ummm... I'd hate to have to rely on other applications, especially as I
doubt all Unix or Linux computers have a compiler installed. I know most
Linuxes ship with one, but I'd guess the average SysAdmin in a company
would just leave it out to save disk space.
