Currently I oblomowize Melody only and try to convince :-). I've just 
made a weak proposal in the start of this thread and I have got nothing 
more than a couple of external links that deal with similar ideas. I 
might probably prepare this better later, but can look at these pages if

(Melody is something like MLTREE, preserving function signatures, type 
information, block scopes etc.)
