Oh man, with any decent C++ IDE you could do something like #include
"huge_header_of_generally_useless_crap.h", and then use
intellisense-like IDE feature to construct things like this:

MyGreatNameSpace::<wait here untill list of classes appears under
cursor>MyGreatClass obj = MyGreatNameSpace::<wait>MyGreatClass.<wait
for static Create() or something>Create(<wait for argument list><type
argument list>); obj-><wait for list of methods>MethodName(<wait><type
argument list>);

....well, that's the way the world is doing it in C++. in C#, it's even
better, you mostly type dots instead of "::" and "->" all the time.
It's quite convenient, really. No need to prove the world that Visual
Studio is written by idiots, because it's not.

Well, I don't think you can actually call it language. Your idea to map
file path to token is somewhat interesting, but in C++ I can achieve
same effect with a few tricky #define-s, and, I guess, I can actually
do even more. But the thing is that I never need it (see above why).
Also, if my libraries would ever need to be relocated, I would loose
all my code, which is not a good thing to happen.

I'm not "expert hacker", I'm just professional coder with few years of
experience, but, trust me, you've gotta learn existing stuff real
limits before try to step out.
