Hmm.. - I'll have to ponder about that. There's a chance that I
can model not exactly that but "something like that" in Algol 68.

Yeah, I thought that Lisp might be an appropriate language for
things like that. (Too bad that I don't like that language, and
I anyway need some method here that I can realize in Algol 68.)

Thanks.
