+/**
+ ** @brief A toy example for a usage of the #embed directive.
+ **
+ ** We just embed the source of this program into the executable and
+ ** print it.
+ **
+ ** If the #embed directive is entirely supported, the preprocessor
+ ** should do macro expansion of `__FILE__`. If the directory of the
+ ** source file is in the include path for embed.c, the source should
+ ** just be included like that.
+ **
+ ** If the directive is not supported you could try to compile this
+ ** anyhow by using https://sentido-labs.com/en/library/cedro/. Cedro
+ ** does not allow to do macro expansion for the argument of the
+ ** directive, so we have to give this explicitly.
+ **
+ ** For the example itself to output properly, the source and
+ ** execution encoding should not be too different.
