Well, that was an excruciating read. Did you find it easy to read? I'll bet
you also found it hard to write.

If you look at the file-out format (also called chunk format), you can just
simply write the code you want as a result and it would be infinitely more
comprehensible to you and to those you would share it with.

There are times when writing things along the lines that you have are
essential. For example, if you are writing a code generator you would want
to generate source strings and compile them.
