I'm glad to hear this. None of the other replies has engaged with my
proposal, instead saying things like 'ARs are nouns and so can't be
first-class verbs'. This hits the nail on the thumb. What's important
is whether you can pass function A into function B and have B call A:
whatever syntax is required is a detail. We have long been able to pass
ARs into explicit definitions, but the tacit language needs additional
features, which I think my proposal provides.
The other strain of response to my proposal essentially ignored it and
instead expatiated on the advantages of Cloak, while ignoring the fact
that if not used in a restricted way it will crash the system: a serious
defect.
