I'm inclined to say "yes", but really it's part of a larger set of PIR
language features we might want to look into:

1) The ability to say where the PIR code starts, so we can provide a
separate stub header ("perl -x")
2) The ability to say where the PIR code ends, so we can include other
information in the file thereafter ("__END__")
3) The ability to get access to the information in the file after the
__END__ ("<DATA>" and "__DATA__" In perl5)

Any of these features alone would be nice but not necessary. Together
I think they open up a lot of flexibility. I would, however, prefer to
use something more PIR-ish than "__END__", maybe ".endfile" instead.
