I just played around with token_get_all() and token_name() and by the looks of 
the
output it's going to be quite easy to create something that can rewrite the 
contents of a file and
or augment it ...

the only really tricky thing that I can't get my head round right away is
handling the following in a nice way:

$Lang['foo'] = 'bar';
$Lang['foo'] = 'my '.$Lang['bar'].' really hurts';

but part of the answer/solution to that problem lies in what I would like
to present (and/or require from0 the person who will use the lang file 'editor'

it's been a pleasure talking to myself ;-)
