Yes, still hacking on macresources...
Anyone object to this syntax for stuffing compression info into Rez
files? The C preprocessor hash-pragma mechanism is intended for exactly
this kind of implementation-specific functionality. And because Rez can
read some C header files, it can also handle pragmas (by ignoring them).
Previously I have tried structured comments, but I find them inelegant.
The "sys7" part explicitly reminds the user that earlier Systems cannot
access these structures.
```
#pragma sys7_compress GreggyBits
data 'foo ' (0) {
$"ABCD"
}
#pragma sys7_compress off
```
