As long as you can write a grammar for your language, you can use TXL%
to transform it to your hearts desire.


   How many languages have the capabilities of fixed point arithmetic?

I don't know _how_ many; I know one that does: Ada.

% For those who've never heard of TXL, here is some of the blurb from
  the README :-

Here's the language prototyping tool you've been waiting for!  TXL is a
generalized source-to-source translation system suitable for rapidly
prototyping computer languages and langauge processors of any kind.  It
has been used to prototype several new programming languages as well as
specification languages, command languages, and more traditional program
transformation tasks such as constant folding, type inference and source
optimization.
