I know the hardcoding is probably not the best, but I wanted to try it
out to see if it was a good feature before committing a lot of work to it.
The alternative is to use some sort of configuration file for it. The
problem, though, is that the hints are for newbies, and newbies probably
aren't going to get a configuration file properly set up, especially if
there are multiple such files.
I think the only purpose of such a feature is to increase the chance
that a newbie's "hello world" compiles successfully. The importance of
that can't be underestimated, I think. First impressions matter.
