And how, precisely? How do you mangle Func?

As being noted already multiple times by different people: could you
please corroborate your ideas with *substance* -- that is, turning them
into actual proposals?

This it turning to be an extremely disrespectful behavior towards the
other readers of this ML, since you do not even extend the courtesy of
doing _some form of homework_ before saying "I propose this". This isn't
a forum to vent random ideas; there's plenty of others for that kind of
discussions.

Not to mention that, if you want to have any chance to actually see
these ideas materialized, you MUST turn them into actual proposals.
