I am not sure how I feel about it.
From cursory look, the idea looks reasonable implementation-wise.

However, there is one big important requirement which does not appear to
be obeyed by your code: We _must_ be backwards-compatible. All the
existing babel backends must not be broken, especially third-party ones.
We must not make breaking changes to non-private function definitions.

Also, I do not see error handling as it is implemented in our current
babel code: Errors should be displayed in a popup buffer.

Best,
