  True, this makes it a bit more difficult.
  Another problem is that pov-file may #include itself, which is another
extra twist to take into account when dealing with bytecode.

  Speaking of #includes, one thing which may speed up a lot when implementing
bytecode compiling/interpreting would be to have support for pre-compiled
include files. That is, include files may be pre-compiled by the user and
then each time that include file is #included, the already-parsed-and-compiled
version is quickly loaded instead of the original one. This can save a great
deal of parsing and compiling.
