>(all three requirements applying only to hosted implementations.)

If you really mean ``any type'', this require a stack of at least
32767 bytes/argument * 3 arguments/level * 511 levels = 50231811 bytes
This is only possible on workstations, and are not ``easily met on nearly 
any current implementation''.
We'll have to be more restrictive than that - any non-compound type?
