    Everything should be linked, from the highest level abstraction, all the way down to the bytes generated by the compiler. If you want to tweak the output of the compiler, you should be able to do so, attaching a modification tag into the source code.

    Programming code needs markup capability, not just comments. Markup provides the ability to specify addition LAYERS (Plural!) of information about something. You should be able to add as many of these layers as you like, they should be able to overlap as you like. The compiler output should just be another layer on top of your source code, if you like.

    MS Word: Tools... Options... File Locations tab
    MS Excel: Tools... Options... General tab
