Nope, though unfortunately for all, it is for ChucK...

Yes, .ckx files are indeed intended to be "The Way" (tm).  They were 
mostly working in the old frankenstein chuck release, but due to framework 
"enhancements" in chuck-1.2 ckx import was disabled and we haven't gotten 
around to putting it back.

Unfortunately, there is not much we can do at this point until the ckx 
import feature returns (and return it shall, though the timetable is 
unclear).

Best,
