I suspect it's unlikely, but you'll never know until you ask, but are there any attributes that would allow us to contribute to
the compiled output?

e.g.

// this class exists in a separate, compiled assembly for the compiler to load during compilation
class MyMethodCompiler : Attribute
{
// This is called during compilation
public override void GenerateMethod(MethodBuilder method)
{
// modify the IL that was generated from the compiler
}
}

// some class in a user assembly
class MyClass
{

[MyMethodCompiler]
public void SomeMethod(...)
{
// User code in method
...
...
...
}
}
