Oh, right.  I would consider a translator in that sense to go at the
front of each of the lists I presented.  Perhaps I should have used
the name "codegen" for the backend bit.  So then you'd have:

 {awk,elisp,whatever}-translator -> sexp -> compiler -> primitive-rep
   -> hobbit-codegen -> gcc -> .so - - -> dynamic-link
