Marcus,

The createFActionForEachHeterogeneous$call did the trick!  Thanks for the
help on this (and on my other message, as well).

There's one FCall object that is allocated for the list, and the list itself
is frozen at create time.  This avoids the cost of iterating through
lists and the costs of dispatching the method to the target object.
So, createFActionForEachHomogeneous$call is too specialized for what
you want to do.  The Heterogeneous version should work, though.
