Interesting haven't thought about going that far :)

Somehow that reminds me of:
#define IF if(
#define THEN ){
#define ELSE } else {
#define ENDIF }

to transform C into BASIC. The scripting-only people would probably be 
thrilled ;) But I have the tendency to think that this bends the 
language a bit too far. They will also soon wonder why they cannot put 
top-level code in their other files.
