So what you want is nothing like Modula-2. Don't expect any of the M2 vendors to start doing something like that, or not exactly like that. This sor of thing is almost impossible to do unless the same vendor providing the M2 compiler would also be providing the C compiler. The ideal way to handle something similar to what you want is to have you define a definition module in M2, while providing the implemenation inother languages. This can be done easily when a compiler support the standrad Amiga object file format, which none of the current M2 compilers do.
