If I understand things correctly, ITA Software's Orbitz system does
that. See the slides of Rodney Daughtrey's ILC 2002 talk "ITA Software
and Orbitz: Lisp in the Online Travel World" (International Lisp
Conference 2002 Proceedings, page 606).

A toy example is contained in Paul Graham's book "ANSI Common
Lisp". See section 13.5 "Example: Pools" on page 226.
