Heh, this is something that I ran into when trying to
write a combinator language for Java based on Haskore.
I gave up when I realized i really needed those other
features of a functinal language to :). It is a bit
difficult in many domains to seperate what you are
defining from the language you are defining it in, so
I guess this is not such a large suprise.
