The problem with thinking of keys in terms of function calls is that
in order to spec it out fully, we'd have to invent a type system.  The
return types on AGL's "functions" weren't specified in his email, but
they did exist -- the DBR() function, for example, has a return type
that isn't the same as that of either of the parameters taken by the
CHK() function.

A more limited approach would save us all the trouble of embedding
type checkers in our freenet URI parsers.
