new proxy(()=>{}, {get() {}})

I only barely speak JS, but that reminds me of a crazy idea I had to combine proxies, tagged templates, and the old `with` statement ... smoke tests showed it would probably work but I never polished it off.

What would the end result be/do?

Instead of applying the template immediately using lexical variables, return a function that can be applied later and uses an object's properties (or whatever method of computation you want). Only a few variable names are forbidden.
