It's just an evaluator for reverse polish notation.

You can type
evaluate_rpn(f, g, x)
instead of
f(g(x))
(assuming f and g have fixed arities of 1 which the system is informed of)

hardly a revolution.

I seriously doubt it makes debugging easier, and it definitely will only 
make compilation slower.
