this isn't adding a new feature. This is replacing a feature that everyone already implemented independently on every other project - some with xxd, some with special embedders such as rcc or windres or whatever, some through CMake directly (like this: https://gist.github.com/sivachandran/3a0de157dccef822a230 for instance) - in a standard and more performant way. Instead of being paid per-project this cost will now be paid per-compiler implementation which is unambiguously good as there are <<< compilers than C projects.
