Interesting that you mention that. I was just reading about newLISP
(http://www.newlisp.org/) and one of the features with the language is
that functions are first class lists. I was wondering about the value
of that feature and it sounds like you just answered it.

Not a reason necessarily to give up the ghost on Scheme, but it helps
me understand the benefits of the feature.
