Using RTF in program modules

Is it just us, or would anyone else like to be able to use RTF in program  
listings? It seems like such a damn shame that you can't do in-line  
documentation in an .h file, instead of building a separate file for the  
class description.

We can think of several two-file solutions (you edit foo.rtf.m. and use a  
make rule to create foo.m), but no one-file solutions without hacking cpp.  
You can't even pipe to cpp (we thought of that), because it won't look to  
your pipe for the #import/#include directives. It seems like it would be  
so easy for cpp, during the include phase, to notice it had RTF and pass  
it through a filter. Anyone else in favor of bugging NeXT to make this  
extension?
