I'll consider this. The basic theory is pretty simple. You need an object that identifies a parameter position, and a short syntax for referencing that object. I think anyone familiar with currying should be able to get the basic idea from that, so I don't think this stops the discussion from moving forward, but if a userland implementation is needed to demonstrate why a parser level implementation isn't, I can throw together something basic, or at least some pseudo-code.
