How will the "uncompiled form" be represented?  Will it be IFF (please)?
If so, it would make sense to make it general enough to allow
the IFF to be converted to anything, not just C.  ModulaII is getting
popular (yech, but true).  Specifically, I would love to see
and ARexx host that could read an uncompiled version and accept commands
and functions to allow the user to manipulate it.  How about stuff
to allow IFF ILBM forms to be put into the window where the gadgets
are going to be posted.  Then complex and nifty-looking screens
could be set up easily.  Add ARexx and you have instant hyper-card.
