Really interesting approach. I have two problems similar with those
you point to the web page. The goto (for vb) which PHP does not support
and the comments reassignment. I used a system similar with the code
snippets you mention. I use XML because I need to describe classes.

I wonder though, is the Token stream approach powerful enough?
For example if you have the code snippet:
someMethod(x) -> translation
and there are two overloaded version of someMethod say:
someMethod(char c) and someMethod(uint c)
how can you provide a different translation for those cases?

My approach uses AST to AST translation.
Why did you refuse this approach? What was the main drawback
of this approach?
