It's not available for the moment.  Some variation of it is likely to
turn into a student exercise, so I'm keeping it under wraps for now.
Mark: if you're interested, let me know and I'll send it to you
off-list.  I think a MetaOCaml back-end could work very nicely,
although some details like generating mutually-recursive functions are
still a little tricky.
