Ah, that brings back the Good Old Days.  In the 1980s, I wrote a
similar thing for Tandem (TAL programming language), which allows ^ in
identifiers.  The text, without the defines:

^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (^^^^^^^^^^^^^^); ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ , ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^); ^^^^^ ^^^^^^
(^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^,^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^,2); ^^^^^^^^^ [0] ':=' [24 * ["  "]];
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ := 1; ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ := 1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
12 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^ ^^^^^^^^^^ [ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^-1] :=
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ':=' ^^^^^^^^^^[0] ^^^^^^^^ 12 &
^^^^^^^^^^[0] ^^^^^^^^ 12 & ^^^^^^^^^^[0] ^^^^^^^^ 12; ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
(^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^, ^^^^^^^^^,48); ^^; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ := 1; ^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ := 12 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^
^^^^^^^^^^ [^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^-1] := " "; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ':=' ^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^ 12 & ^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ 12 & ^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ 12; ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
(^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^, ^^^^^^^^^,48); ^^; ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^; ^^;

I have no idea what it did.
