No, this isn't something you should even try.

Let's stick with C(++) and solve that problem first, that there is a lot of boilerplate code in Babel language support that should be lifted off elsewhere is a discussion for another time. > Or we could assume that INT_MAX is always 2147483647. > (Which of course is not true). You've just made compilers customizable. For a start, make those constants customizable per compiler as well?
