That would be Really Nice(TM) but I am not sure in how far that is
practical.
I would be okay with internationalized grammars so I can compile a
German version of the interpreter (maybe called wuerge_schlange).

As a matter of fact I can, too. ;-] But I would also really like to
be able to write:

  solange 1:
    linie = f.leselinie()
    falls nicht linie:
      abbrechen

This would help me a lot when teaching German children (8-14) how
to program.
