Multiple input languages. Modula or Oberon for an first try, later 
followed by C and (eventually) ObjectiveC. The language specific 
standard libraries are not covered by the front-ends, and solutions must 
be found for separate implementation and interface files (in Modula and 
C). This is where the compiler infrastructure (node classes, ppu files) 
may deserve some extensions, later...
