That is somewhat incorrect information. You can not use btex ... etex in
a normal way in places where expansion is prohibited (i.e. definitions),
but whether or not this is inside an inputted file is irrelevant. If you need
run-time TeX labels, you can use the textext() macro from metafun, or
John Hobby's TEX() macro (available after "input tex;")
