If I ever wanted to do something like that, I would rather write a
separate MacWrite document which explained the code, and put a
reference to it in my code.  Maybe it's a little less elegant, but I
don't like the idea of making the C compiler more complicated and
non-standard.  The C compiler should just read in a text file.
Different fonts and styles wouldn't be quite so bad, since you could
use a regular text file with a resource which contained a style run.
I suppose you could use the same kind of system to do pictures,
keeping only the text in the data fork, and putting the picture
information in resources, but even this seems kind of complicated.  I
don't know.  It just seems kludgy.
