I think this is generally on the right track as there aren't many other tracks to get this to work. Is it possible to leave open the option for a language that is translating into itself (e.g. javascript to javascript) to have the ability to take a non-string lambda if it is a language that is capable of inspecting itself to get the string representation of its own code?
