There's no real need to reclaim foreach, and emit is expanded into empty space, so reclaiming it won't  hurt anyone. As for signals, slots, and other Q_PROPERT'ies, I think it's also safe to interpret them Qt-specifically for classes which inherit QObject. Other compilers will rely on moc-generated code, and everything can work the same way in both cases.

If you are still worried about breaking code which has nothing to do with Qt, this functionality could be made optional via compiler flag or plugin.
