It has (I think).  I posted the link already somewhere in one of the MPS
related threads:

<https://gcc-python-plugin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>

At the time I tried to hack something to generate the code you wanted
(well my interpretation as I never got the minimal example I asked for)
but when Eli suggested treesitter I gave-up as I thought was a good (and
better) suggestion.  Why do you think treesitter is not up to the task?
