If he's right that C++ use is so balkanized, this will

I can't say I understand the proposal, but if it is similar to
AST macros, my argument against that is well known and similar
to yours.
It's basically a restricted form of AST-Macros.
Not as aweful as it could have been but still quite complex and I
have no idea how one would implement that efficiently.
