I thought I had convinced you that my "special casing the ->" way of
looking at the world was sensible and that we didn't really have a
good answer for what the Right Thing was.

I would be happy if this one were renamed to not take this general
sounding name. Something like parametric->/c or something (perhaps
even with a corresponding restriction that the thing inside be a fn,
if that check isn't already there).

Is that ok?
