John,
It might be better to go about it in a fashion similar to how one would use Haskell to create a new language using Happy, but instead of making a full fledged language create a language that makes only minor adjustments to the official language where most of the original source code and command line options are copied verbatim with a handful of things caught such as the Richard O'Keefe newtype, a nano-language if you will. Actually I have known about this possibility for years. There is always something you would like to change about whatever language you are working with and so I have put thought into it.
What about¯syntax macros? http://people.cs.uu.nl/arthurb/data/Macros/Manual.pdf Cheers, Stefan
