You are sort of reinventing the wheel, or at least (Standard) ML, here. See<br>

<br>I think it&#39;s great to look at the way other languages do things as examples, but we&#39;re not about to re-make the Chuck system using Haskell syntax or LISP, or ML.  It&#39;s highly likely that Chuck will get new features, but the ones it gets will be the ones that seem most important to the devs and the community, I suppose.<br>
