Neil, Nothing fundamental, the idea is great and I hope the next step will be the MsBuild task for language transforms.
My opposition is based on general considerations on how the new builds of applications should work. I think that the new build is good when I do not need to tweak my scripts until I need the new functions in that build. What's why I call this a break of compatibility.
