Unfortunately F(f1)(a, b) doesn't parse. The only way to make that
work is to write it as (F(f1))(a, b), which is horrible to read. I
used to experiment a lot with using funs as kind of objects in Erlang,
but in the end I always stopped using these techniques because of this
superficial notation thing. Would it be difficult to change the parser
rules to make a call like F(f1)(a, b) valid, or would that conflict
too much with other (scoping) rules?
