Reading this i have to say i don't like the idea.  

You won't be able to extract the original code so you can render the
scene, but not study the code - a very questionable advantage.

Maybe some kind of 'parsing protocol' would be good that says what files
are actually being parsed.  From this you can conclude the files that are
required for the scene.
