Ah, but keywords would be no problem. You could have english or Japanese
or german keywords at a flick of a switch on the pretty printer. Variable
names, hmm, that could be problematic, but fungible.

Not so, I (and anyone else developing on the I^2S systems), made _very_
heavy use in those days of that facility hopping between C and Fortran and
Bliss routines.

Ah, the trick here is that it adds no new language features! Not One! It
merely renders the existing internal objects of programs visible
<strong>as encapsulated by objects</strong>.
The facility of accessing primitive objects is there. Nothing new to be
added. If the internal representation of program nodes shifts, well no
problem, thats why we have object encapsulation.
