We were planning on using Vim for preprocessing things like this instead
of hacking TeX to do the lexing.  I think Mojca (?) had some ideas for
this and perhaps even a simple implementation, and given that there is
now structured support for preprocessing in texexec I think that this
can be done quite easily.  A lot easier than writing something in TeX.
