Yes, I tried something like that.  I had to split the C++ main()
function into sections some time ago to keep ld happy, but
the file grew too big for g++.  I didn't want to split it into
different files.

With Ruby, I tried putting delimiter lines (#===) at intervals in
the file and then piping the file one section at a time to a
Ruby subprocess.  That helped a little, but not much:  The real
problem isn't the long file, it's the long lists of arguments that
make up the arrays.
