<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Objective Template Transpiler.
.DESCRIPTION
    Allows PipeScript to generate Objective C/C++.

    Multiline comments with /*{}*/ will be treated as blocks of PipeScript.

    Multiline comments can be preceeded or followed by 'empty' syntax, which will be ignored.

    This for Inline PipeScript to be used with operators, and still be valid C/C++ syntax.

    The Objective C Inline Transpiler will consider the following syntax to be empty:

    * ```null```
    * ```nil```
    * ```""```
    * ```''```
