I have the impression Talin wants to implement it himself, but even if he doesn't, I'm sure I'll have a free week somewhere in the next year and a half in which I can implement it :) It's not that hard a problem, it just requires a lot of reading of the AST and function-call code (if you haven't read it already.)
