Putting the original code in the scad file can break the parser

[ali1234]

Example:

import solid

glob = "**/*"

x = solid.cube()
solid.scad_render_to_file(x, "test.scad")
y = solid.include("test.scad")

Result:

py_scadparser: Illegal character: test.scad(11) """
py_scadparser: Syntax error: test.scad(14) ID - solid
py_scadparser: Syntax error: test.scad(15) INCLUDE - include
py_scadparser: Syntax error: test.scad(18) / - /

This happens because the default is to save the solidpython code to the output, but in this case the code contains a glob, which looks like a comment terminator, which messes up the parser in solidpython. I haven't tested openscad on these files. Generally the way you fix this is with heredoc, but I think this would require support from openscad side.

solid2 should not have this issue (since it does not append the solidpython code to the scad file)

(I don't really see the need to append the solidpython code to the generated code)

PS: I don't really get what you mean with heredoc.
