But, a recent line of fiddling has gone in an odd direction.
   I felt a need for a basic script language for some tasks;

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
