I'm very interested too, mainly because a hobby DSL of mine is stalled
for lack of a good way to take a user specified function f : String ->
String and map it over an OCaml list of strings. Depending on how the
bindings look, I might invert control altogether and write it as a lua
dsl tied to an OCaml engine.
