What you ask for was present in my original pragma implementation. The compiler dispatched pragmas that were declared as compiler pragmas (using pragmas and thus extensible) to the compiler.
as it should be done. Nice music to my hears.
That mechanism got lost with the closure changes to the compiler. It should be relatively easy to re-integrate again.
I never bother to do so, because the mechanism was never adopted by the only potential client at that time as the author didn't like pragmas and preferred to patch the compiler :-)
May be jealous not to have invented it? ;-) Stef
