Please no. That's how CFront worked in the late 80s: one of the first c++ compilers that emitted c for classes and generics. It was slow, clumsy, and errors completely opaque. It served to get c++ implemented quickly during its early years, but things got much better when real compilers came out. Hygienic macros integrated with a language, ok. But don't implement the language in a macroprocessor.
