I remember reading about that simulation in the FAQ (I think it was the FAQ,
at least).  I looked for it for a while in various DGD-related locations,
but to no avail.  I agree that it shouldn't take on the 3.2 closure syntax,
but it would seem like a decent undertaking to simulate something like
function pointers with parse_string().  I'm assuming by function pointers
you mean the (: :) syntax that MudOS uses.  I guess the only problem I'm
having with that is where does the actual call to parse_string() go?  I'm no
good at visualizing stuff like this. ;)
