It will be very interesting to see if you can make a pre-processor demo to illustrate your ideas.
My guess is that if you provide dot notation and structures you will end up inventing classes (attributes and methods) and instances of entities (OOP-objects).
A pre-processor that gives us the option of writing in an OOP-style (while not a favorite with some classic Euphoria users) should have great appeal to new Euphoria converts. Dot notation, for example, has a certain attraction.
The trick is to keep the pre-processor from becoming a complete programming language itself and while still keeping familiar Euphoria syntax.
Go ahead and invent. I, and many others, will be interested in what you can create.
