I hope this isn't the case.  Microsoft did this to VBA in the 90ies,
but everybody agrees that it was a complete fiasco.  Of course, they
made some avoidable mistakes, but in general, the whole idea might
sound nice, but it doesn't work out in practice.

If there is any interest in this topic, I'm going to sum up the major
issues.
