(FUT warning), my questions are at end of post

Hi,
i want to write my own, very small and simple language. 
Why ? just for fun, and for learning purposes... just say that I have meany 
free time ;) I wanted to write something more like advanced pre-procesor 
for C++ (something like PHP is for HTML, except that PHP is server-side).

I was thinking about something like i.e :

int main() { int t[5]; {? loop(1,5) ?} t[i]=5 return }

  that will be converted by my pre-compiler to :
int main() { int t[5]; for (int i=1; i<5; i++) t[i]=5 return }  
  and then passed to gcc compiler

Yes, I know that this example is very stupid and that this is not a 
practical ...

From technical side I will write my own simple pre-compiler and call it 
gcc.exe and save real gcc.exe as _gcc.exe, then :

1) IDE will start  gcc.exe test.cpp -o test.o
2) my gcc.exe will create _test.cpp that will have my scripts replaced with 
normal C++ statment
3) my gcc.exe will execute  _gcc.exe _test.cpp test.o

And now my questions :
- should above method work for GCC 3.0.2 ?
- with characters/symbols can I use ? is {? ?} good ? i was thinginh about 
matking my code with <? ?> but I heard that newest GCC provides operator?> 
afair
- can I use characters with code > 128 ? like 0xF0 etc ?
