Thank you! I'll try to do my best to come up with a (probably Tcl-based) 
mock implementation for experimentation purpose.

BTW, are you happy with the proposed syntax, besides agreeing or not on 
the whole concept of references? I.e.:

  $var  : regular value substitution
  $&var : strong reference (early bound)
  $@var : weak reference (late bound on access), semantically identical
          to var name.

After all, that was the point of the original message ;-)
