Has there been research in this area that I've missed on my searches
(using 'syntax directed compilation' as my main phrase)?

Replying to my own post, because I've found some interesting related
work not previously mentioned:

http://www.chrisseaton.com/katahdin/

"Katahdin is a programming language where the syntax and semantics are
mutable at runtime."

[...]

"New constructs such as expressions and statements can be defined, or a
new language can be implemented from scratch. It is built as an
interpreter on the Mono implementation of the .NET framework. "

Public domain source is available from that site.
