I think that could work, but wouldn't it be much easie= r if the language itself was self-documenting? Maybe, but that entails changing the language, by definition. And you will face resistance because languages are things people kinda grow accustomed to.

It's like I told you not only you have to learn Portuguese words, but its grammar, too. Jo=C3=A3o Jo=C3=A3o
