Depends on what you mean. In any of these you need to hack a lot
of support - to make it really "right" you probably end up
hacking a lot of the implementation of some functional language.
In particular, none of the above supports closures (to have closures
you really need GC) and certainly not Lisp like macros (where you
can make compile time versions of such compositions).
