Dworkin has already answered this I see :).  You may be interested to know
that lambda closures mimicking those in LPMud 3.2 (oft called Amylaar) were
implemented in LPC at one point in the 2.4.5 compatibility package.  This
has since been removed, but its obviously something that can be done.  Indeed,
it should be easier now in the experimental line of driver development as
parse_string has been implemented and one can write a grammar for using this.
