If I understood your proposal correctly, it's just about dynamically 
*replacing* the built-in types (with their respective syntax) with some 
type of your own. 

I doubt this will ever be accepted (apart from the technical 
difficulties) since *changing* built-in types *in-place* has been 
disallowed for exactly the same reason: It could cause weird behaviour 
where you expected some **agreed on, built-in** behaviour without having 
an overly obvious cause.

Cheers,
