boot strapping euphoria idea

This is an idea that I have had for sometime but I don't have enough
knowledge of euphoria's internal design.
It is a fact that the translator can translate euphoria code to "C" code.
Now suppose that a user creates an standard include library of eu code that
will add a new feature to Eurphoria.
This feature could be tested fully in euphoria code, removing all the bugs.
Next the new standard library would be run through a new version of the translator.
The translator output would be a "C" plug-in module that would interface into
"C" code version of source which will be run through Watcom or some other supported compiler.
This would have created a new version of Euphoria sort of like boot strapping.
The advantage of this is that it would make it easier on the developers.
Any user could then submit a standard library for consideration for addition to Euphoria.
Please be gentle on the criticism of this idea.
