nope. but the paper that I got inspiration from was working on C, so  
it is certainly doable.

John and I were talking about doing this for javascript since it'll  
take about... 20 lines of ruby + johnson to make it work. Adding java  
and any other language would be easy assuming there is a ruby parser  
for it.
