This seems like an uncessary complication that doesn't buy that much.
What's the real motivation? Just to take advantage of the byte-code interpreter?
However, if you do want to go this route, should there be some escape
mechanism, so you can tell when you are including a snipet of code inline vs
an mlb directive.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/mlton
$(MLTON_ROOT)/basis/basis.mlb
<<EOF
val () = print "hello\n"
EOF
----------------------------------------------------------------------
which is just an abbrevation for having a file hello.sml and mentioning it
there.
Still, I really don't see the need.
