Yeah, I think I would have done this if I hadn't needed to keep state in
the environment. I agree it's ugly though -- it would be impossible to
compile this code, for instance, because it violates the
implementation's prerogative to implement environments as they like. I
should probably implement my stuff with anonymous modules.
