Before I would use exec, I'd look hard at either generating a
source file to import, or using a preprocessor. And if this
code was to be installed, make the version choice or the
preprocess step happen at install time.
I once implemented a system that generated 20k lines of C++ header
and sources. And the generated code was properly indented and
fairly well commented.
