I'll consider this. The basic theory is pretty simple. You need an object that identifies a
parameter position, and a short syntax for referencing that object. I think anyone familiar with
currying should be able to get the basic idea from that, so I don't think this stops the
discussion from moving forward, but if a userland implementation is needed to demonstrate why a
parser level implementation isn't, I can throw together something basic, or at least some
pseudo-code.
