Yeah, this was a somewhat difficult choice.  In the end I decided that 
this detail is fairly unlikely to change and the clarity of making 
what's really going on transparent outweighs the fairly mild exposure of 
implementation details that are unlikely to change.  The only detail 
being exposed is that I use an adapter function to make callable objects 
work with the same infrastructure as aliases.
