Well, there was already one very legitimate usage of compile time

We certainly need both compile-time and runtime loading of

which case.
chromatic suggests .include for "load this library at compile and
run time". The .include directive is currently being used to mean
"inline the entire source code for this file here". But, I've
always thought of that as a hack we put in before we had library
loading working. Any thoughts?
I would prefer .include to maintain its current meaning. Not
everything you .include is a complete PIR program.
That would leave us the consistency of the loadlib opcode and
the .loadlib directive both meaning "load this library at runtime".
How does this relate to leo's previous statement that .loadlib now
does both compile & runtime loads?
