Hadley Wickham's lazyeval package in R is pretty cool in that you can 
attach an environment to an expression, pass it in and out of functions 
with various modifications, and then evaluate the expression within the 
original environment (or any other environment that you choose). R in 
general has the functions like list2env and list(environment()) that allow 
one to convert an environment into a list and back again (list being the R 
equivalent of a Dict). Are there any plans to add these kind of features to 
Julia?
