This is not an issue but a question. I'm seeking a way to modify some .fsl files so that I can then see in the generated outputs, the date and time they were generated. FSlex seems to copy comments from its input file into the generated file, but can I embed executable code that I can use to stamp the date-time into those generated files?

Doesn't look like a good idea because the tools' output will not be deterministic.
