Could you tell a bit more in detail how does your goal differ from let's 
say MetaRuby.

Not this MetaRuby

   http://www.zenspider.com/Languages/Ruby/MetaRuby.html but instead this

but original one

   http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/metaruby/

which source code you can apprently view here

   http://raa.ruby-lang.org/gonzui/markup/metaruby

and which quite old source balls might be here

   http://artengine.ca/matju/MetaRuby/

The concept of Hollowness comes through as similar goal in yours and 
Matju's work.
