Actually, what I meant by match on function sigs was: while writing a higher order function that wants a function as an input, can you require that it be a function that's signature implies one var, two vars, a list etc?

As to the non-evaling functions, I suppose we could have a macro that defined a macro / function combination; the resulting macro would expand into a call to the function with ' before each item in the arg list.

Oh, and I think that `(foo ,x ... is supposed to be `(foo-internal ,x ... Otherwise you have an infinitely recursive macro. :)

Nope ^^
