I feel sorry about that too, but the warning was
clear 6 mo.s or so ago when they decided to tighten
access to the source rather than loosen it.  Have
you checked Haskell, or OCaML?  Perhaps they have
what you need.  Personally, I ended up switching my
focus to Ruby (or Python.  I still dither.)  They
have lambda notation, but aren't really functional
languages.
