The issues can probably be fixed by writing a bit of a better compiler, HolyC2 maybe?

I've thought about using this Lisp interpreter to bootstrap a compiler for a new language, probably targeting HolyC. If someone were to write some decent lexer/parser generator tools in HolyC it would go a long way in making something like that possible.
Call it Protestant.
Alternatively, HolyC++ or HolyD.
HolyMoly, duh.
Ideally a HolyC++ would be able to compile normal HolyC without any changes to the source while also adding new stuff and while not being C++ in the process. That all would be very neat.
More like unholy.
