C++ #pragma, #include? Golang import statements?

I see why they did this for the Go 1 guarantee, but would prefer if they used a keyword and had a defined restricted syntax for it. There are a growing number of these comments and they’re poorly documented and spread around different tooling. It’s kind of a hack.
