I think that m4 can help us a lot. The version which is still not
released, but well advanced, has this feature that you can tell it to
use {} for parens, and @ before each macro name.
There will be a few problems with environments and macros which run
til the end of line, but with a pre-parse but AWK it should be
possible to have it work.
Well, on the paper, it seems neat, but there might be severe problems
lying in there. Still, the idea of using a preprocessor to target
different languages is worth thinking. Or not? :)
