The callback part could be done with continuations.  Specifically,
a distributed continuation allows you to call a function in a set of
objects.  That could be a set of size 1, after which there would be
a callback to "aggregate" the results.  Followup continuations could
be appended in advance.

The closures extension provides syntactical sugar for something that
could also be done with a light-weight object encapsulating an object,
a function and arguments.  Perhaps what you are looking for is an
extension of operator functions to * and ().
