  1. And what's wrong with having a C compiler to parse your headers? Parsing alone is not enough for any language, and compiler is exactly the tool that allows to introspect a code and do whatever you want with it. It's just plain wrong to ever use any other tool than the language compiler to parse its code. Also, writing a compliant subset of C compiler (only the parsing and typing frontend) is a relatively trivial task anyway.

  2. stdint.h is a pretty recent thing, and it was a real pain before it became widely available on most (still not all) of the platforms.
