I've proposed this before (in January 2000), including code to replace all the 'sh' usages of it. Didn't write the tokeniser for C, though. http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=48338+0+archive/2000/freebsd-hackers/20001008.freebsd-hackers I got one "go ahead", but a "I don't see the point" from the then-pseudo-maintainer of the rc stuff.
