I'd really like to avoid the pragma handlers seeing subsequent file 
content.  I think that's a design mistake that will make life more 
difficult for us in future.  I don't think that it would be 
substantially harder to take a more structured approach now -- but if we 
don't do it now, it will inevitably be somewhat hard to switch later.
