I think the best solution, rather than using strings to name functions, is to simply use named functions, rather than anonymous functions. (You could even require named functions, although that wouldn't really serve any purpose.) Then a configuration tool would be able to understand bindings to named functions, which would be enough. This is basically the Emacs approach, and works quite well. -- Jeremy Maitin-Shepard
