Go for it! I can see immediate application in displaying and exploring multivariate projections. e.g., factor analyses and components analysis, multivariate groupings superimposed on projected hyperspaces... This is stuff some of us have been dreaming about for a couple of decades, and getting there from primitives has been (ahem) "fun." To be able to express this and see results using a higher level language would be really important to a lot of research exploration.
