That is part of the proposal... it should be possible to nest the 
syntax without any special demarcation:

K=scheme( (ruby(puts j * 2)) );

The pre-parser should be responsible for descending the call and 
pulling out these special method invocations.  Then they will have to 
be encoded for the plugins in an appropriate way so that they will not 
have to do any work to parse them further.
