Hi Tom,
sounds interesting! But seems to me this will raise current package 
dependencies problems on a new level. Now one sees modules and packages 
as some kind of aggregates, black boxes which supply useful 
functionality and hide non relevant complexity and tight dependencies.

Moving to functions all the way down looks to me like a lowering level 
of abstraction. The meta information about the overall program structure 
would inevitably be lost.
