Have to say that I was a bit surprised there... first about finding an optional fp 
implementation in dgd, second seeing you wrote it, and 3rd that it was quite evident noone 
had tried to use it so far despite the more then a decade of people asking for them.

At least fps make certain things easier to write and debug (getting compile time type 
checking for free), whereas any lambda implementation for lpc I've seen so far makes 
things easier to write (eliminating the need for helper functions) but much harder to debug.
