You are right: I don't really need, but I do really want... ;-) More
precisely: I have an elisp fun what does what I need, but not exactly
in the way I could really like. So I asked here if it is possible to
do in some better way or not. From (lack of) early answers it seems:
not nice way exists :-(

Yes. Usually. But can exist cases when this would be part of a bigger
"system" what is "logical to implement" in elisp... Why mix it up with
other languages if not really needed?
