load keyword

This keyword would look something like this:

load "my_file"

It is like C/C++'s #include, as in it literally copies and pastes the code from another file.

why would you need this instead of a regular import?

Can be useful in some cases like suckless style configuration

We already have #load(filename) which embeds the file as a []u8, and its optional type param like #load(filename, string).

Either way I'm closing this discussion. For code we have imported, and #load covers the embedding use cases. The equivalent of C's #include doesn't make sense in Odin.
