In fact, you do. As long as you don't implement it as mere preprocessor -
then of course, you can do what you want.

Nope, there is no such thing - if you want it, use scheme/lisp.

Not sure what you mean by this, as I never used ObjC - I suppose you wanted
to say "that object does *not* know what to do with it". Unless you get a
bit more specific, I can't suggest something more concrete, but I bet
metaclasses can come handy here - after all, writing delegating classes in
python using them (and other techniques) is easy and sounds like an
approach to what you might want.
