You carefully ignored the part of my message where I pointed out that
a good built-in primitive would have made my code *more* robust, and
therefore *more* re-useful.

But my real response is:

Scheme did this for 30 years.  The lambda-value calculus is the
ultimate in re-utility.  And the scripting languages ate our lunch.
