Can we have a bit more syntax, so other packages that inspect the source
(freeze and friends come to mind) can also use the pragma scheme?
Something like
"pragma" NAME ("." NAME)+ "=" (NUMBER | STRING+)
should allow freeze to use something like
pragma freeze.exclude = "win32ui, sunaudiodev, linuxaudiodev"
which would be ignored by the compiler but interpreted by freeze.
And, if they're stored in the __pragma__ dictionary too, as was suggested
here, you can also add pragmas specific for class browsers, debuggers and such.
