I have been doing something similar--except I wrote my script
translator in eXcel.

I use it to read *.h files and spit out *.c files that translate
type mathfunction(type arguments) into a series of lines Brian's
compiler interprets as transcendental instructions in My 66000
ISA.

So, code contains the prototype::

extern type_r recognized_name( type_a1 name );

and my scripter punts out::

type_r recognized_spelling( type_a name )
{
     register typoe_a __asm__("R1") = name;
     __asm__("instruction_spelling\t%4,%4" : "=r" (R1) : "r" (r1) );
     return R1;
}

So when user codes (in visibility of math.h)

     y = sinpi( x );

compiler spits out:

     SINPI    Ry,Rx
