All in favor say "Aye". <a faint cry of "Aye" is heard from the

I would suggest starting with Inline::R to get more support from the
community. Our community that is. Your community might benefit more from
Inline::S, but you can probably port to that afterwards.
I had a slight sense of deja vu as I read your post. Last fall someone
wrote to suggest Inline::R++ but it turns out that was completely
different:

Have you heard about R++ ?
This is a research project in AT&T, an extension
of C++ that besides "normal" members and methods supports "rules".
These rules are like methods with no parameters or return type.
They act like "active invariants" -- whenever a specially declared
member is touched, the rules are implicitly called.
They have a pretty good web-page on that:
http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/r%2b%2b/index.html
The whole thing was implemented as a pre-processor that would
generate "normal" C++ code as the result of scanning the R++
source.
Problem is that when AT&T broke up with Lucent, they can't agree
any more on who owns the license. And so they can't release
it even though people are literally begging (for several years now)
to try R++ in either educational or commercial environment.
And some are even talking about re-implementing it outside of
AT&T - for free.
