wow, cool idea!! I don't know if it will add too much value but it is cool
and, the most interesting thing, doable :-)

Allen Wirfs-Brook always mentioned the need for a Smalltalk syntax to
interchange code, etc. (he used another word that I do not remember) and I
think he tried to push it with the ansi standard... I'm mentioning this
because in his talk at the Smalltalks 2016 he talked about it and the #>>
message and so on (I hope my memory is not playing games with me :-) )

Cheers!
Hernan.
