For "prototype" languages, you might check the following (which I have not
yet read):
   "The Realizable Benefits of a Langauge Prototyping Language"
      R.M. Herndon & Valdis A Berzins
      IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, Vol.14,No.6,ppp. 803-809

There are languages which provide "language modules" to extend syntax in a
fixed way.  As to the idea of user-extendable languages...I think your
comment about maintenance is the most pertinent. It's a nightmare for real
applications.

I would, however, be interested in any info you receive (e-mail addr. below)
