The problem you will face is the same one others have hit:  The more 
apparently simple features you want to add, the more extras you have to 
add the language to fully support them.  If you want to retain backwards 
compatibility with C, or even exist in the same space as C, your hands 
are further tied.

Most languages that set out to be better C or cleaner C++ have become 
steadily more and more complex as users have wanted features similar to 
C++ in their new language (generics in Java, OO support in Python and 
PHP spring to mind).
