Dynamically invoking unexported function

Indeed, that's what I started with. It produces a badfun runtime error 
when Request is an atom (a fact I might not have made clear from my 
first post). That syntax only works on funs.

Well, I tend to name variables semantically and - as I hinted at with 
foo({X,Y}) - in my specific problem the variable actually gets bound to 
a tuple holding several arguments.
