Sure, but it's probably possible to design something better too, that would let users do more complex things without dying. Maybe you don't need it for your usage, but this seems a bit like a Blub problem[1].

Keep the same core design of compiled source code files, but there are many things that don't make any sense. As just one example having to use the `\makeatletter` / `\makeatother` hack to change the visibility of macros seems completely insane to me when we have had languages with fine-grained visibility control for decades. This is one of the many things that make using many packages together needlessly hard.
