    It is true, there is an imbedded version of the compiler built into the IDE.  This
is simple to prove, first of all, they have a counter which displays how many lines of
code have been currently compiled.  And the most significant bit of proof, is that you
can remove the command-line compiler and the IDE will still compile just fine.
