read_datablock() reads any comment block of data embedded in the currently
running or edited script or in a given file.
If you want to smartly append in a script the data that the script needs and
uses, without external files, this module is for you.
This solution keeps the code clear, without mixing instructions and literal --
possibly bulky -- data.
Several blocks of data can be appended and used in the same script. They are
identified by an implicit number or by tags.
Because the script includes its required data, it stands alone. You can
distribute it as is, without bundling it with external data files requiring a
zipped archive, unzipping, management of external file paths, etc.
This solution allows to print the script together with its appended data, in one
shot.
