If you look at the end of my submission, I have an attempt to get arround
the logical_X problem by creating a set of objects I called
BinaryPredicateAndComposer and BinaryPredicateOrComposer. It failed with the
same error that compose_f_gx_hy failed.

I will put together some code if someone is willing to do some testing for
me. I have no way to know if it is correct given my compiler(gcc on Be)
won't compile it.
