I don't think anyone understands what you're trying to do.

If you want to capture and manipulate the syntax tree of arbitrary
expressions, consider something like Boost.Proto.
Proto is commonly used to make embedded languages with C++ syntax. This
will not capture things like flow control structures, but you can
trivially define your own if_, for_-alikes through terminals, the
semantics of which you define in your Proto grammar.

If this sounds like something that fits your use case, consider watching
the Boostcon presentations on Proto, and read the documentation.
