Quote away, Dan.  I'm not afraid of the truth.

Dan, this is your job, not mine.  I say it can't be done.

int square(int i) { return i*i; }

is easy enough, but I can't get the rest to work.
I keep getting a type clash in the second call to compose, since your
compose takes function pointers as arguments (I used &compose instead)
and returns a structure.

How about helping me out?
