Slava,

I'd like to experiment with redefining call as a generic word that can 
dispatch on quotations and other kinds of objects such as the closures I 
wrote about recently. Do I need to bootstrap a new Factor with my complex 
definition for call in place? Basically, I'd like to be able to pass closures 
as well as quots to words that currently only accept quots. For example, I'd 
like to pass a closure tuple to a button.

If this is possible, it would be a neat demonstration of how malleable Factor 
is.

Do you have any advice?

In the past I worked on a couple of lispish interpreters in Factor. Being able 
to express closures in Factor makes translating lisp to Factor even easier. 
So this is at least one application. ;-)
