I tried to do similar things (create menus dynamically etc). I also failed
miserably. Fortunately, I was only messing about and it wasn't particularly
important to me, so penance in the Netherlands was unnecessary.

It was frustrating though. I can't help feeling that this should have been
as easy as list processing, but it wasn't. I think my problem (and Ana's)
was lack of understanding of type systems and overloading more than FP.
