A property's data can be populated with a file's contents
as follows:

node {
    prop = /incbin/("path/to/data");
};

A subset of a file can be included by passing start and size parameters.
For example, to include bytes 8 through 23:

node {
    prop = /incbin/("path/to/data", 8, 16);
};

As with /include/, non-absolute paths are looked for in the directory
of the source file that includes them.

That issue was resolved, I believe.

Well, while I discuss the syntax with Jon, here's some comments on the
implementation.

have we made any progress on the syntax?

My last suggestions garnered a "I like that even less." response,
so as far as I know, we're still waiting for a good proposal here.

A while back I sent out a spiel explaining more clearly why I didn't
like it, and where I thought we should go with this, but I don't think
anyone noticed it at the time.  I'll resend.
