NACK

Everthing should be expressable in only one way, so that standard 
patterns can be recognized easily when reading some code. Even if you 
can #define "begin" and "end" in C, and use it instead of "{" and "}", 
the resulting code will be unreadable.

It's a very bad idea to "think C, write Pascal", because such a 
translation will fail for any number of subtle differences between C and 
Pascal.
