Well, this would be a transformation on the AST, right?

... throwing away the modified AST?

Well, in a nutshell: This is not gonna work. abc/polyglot are simply not
designed for this. (But I don't consider this a limitation - the clean
way to do transformations is always to do them at least on the AST
level.)

Have fun with QQ, this should work :-)
