Nope, not on phoenix. I'm not working on a lambda library at all. I'm
doing some experiments with compilers and language representation,
so I will eventually want to transform this into an abstract syntax tree
that can be analyzed and manipulated.
I'm hopeful that boost::proto will be useful for constructing a DSEL that
non-compiler-expert people can use to express program construction
(replacing bits of a program with something else, etc.). Naturally, I'm
looking for something close to a C-like syntax. It's too bad that the
semantics of operator->() make it tough to overload in proto.
Thanks for your help.
