I’d probably consider using those Def files in Extended Oberon, if only the one large SysDef.Mod file
were split into several smaller ones, as Jörg had suggested, e.g. DevDef, RegDef, MemDef, etc. It
would have to be a sensible choice though, which minimizes recompilations of one of them changes.

But one big SysDef file is a no-go. An import (which has a key) is NOT an include file used in C.
