But why would that be better than a reader macro
#+:jvm (load "jvm/lib")
#+:python (load "python/lib")
or a usual macro? IMO, metadata is good for metainformation that
someone (a human, the compiler) wants to access later, not for
consumption by the lisp reader. Or would the non-matching forms still
be read but not compiled afterwards? In that case, you get problems
with
^{:platform :jvm} 1
^{:platform :python} 0
because metadata cannot be attached to numbers.
