Possibly is a joke, but if you can define semantics for
<lambda x> <return> x*x </return> </lambda>, why not...
The cool thing is that you might be able to reference other
parts of your program from within your program to form comments
on your code and meta-comments on the comments, etc....And all
these (meta)-comments can be semantically meaningful.
I think I remember something about an "almost proposal" called
flare or something...but I only saw reference to it once a while
ago ;-)
