For the present application that I'm considering it for, not so much,
although I can image it becoming a problem. The interface file problem is
definitely something I can sympathise with but perhaps it's the only
solution?

What's the deal with MetaML where you can reify code at runtime? Does this
mean you get the entire source code represented in the object code?
