Perhaps we could add (egad, no, I can't believe I'm saying this) a new

It couldn't be a function in the usual sense, because attempting to
evaluate the unbound parameter would raise an exception before the
function was called.
It would have to be something magical, probably a new piece of
syntax understood by the compiler.
