Nope, not on phoenix.  I'm not working on a lambda library at all.  I'm
doing some experiments with compilers and language representation,
so I will eventually want to transform this into an abstract syntax tree 
that can be analyzed and manipulated.  

I'm hopeful that boost::proto will be useful for constructing a DSEL that 
non-compiler-expert people can use to express program construction
(replacing bits of a program with something else, etc.).  Naturally, I'm 
looking  for something close to a C-like syntax.  It's too bad that the
semantics of operator->() make it tough to overload in proto.

Thanks for your help.
