Zed,
while I don't disagree regarding the clean and consistent syntax of
Haskell, do you realize that some people would argue that camels are horses

While designing by committee guarantees agreement across a large number of

This requires dynamic typing using Data.Dynamic (for application) and
Data.Typeable (to do the typing). Namely, you are asking for the
