Ah, fair. Seems that is probably more applicable to image based development than it is typical batch processed source files? Doesn't seem too strange to have your code editing a data file, for example. No reason you couldn't treat your source as a data object, in some sense. Though, I'll note Common Lisp explicitly warns against editing literal objects. Such that I'm assuming this was considered and largely agreed to be a bad idea. :D
