Sorry that I can't find this to reply inline.
I'll just have to play this from memory.
I had thought of something similar using code-refs which might be fairly tied
to Perl, but the thought that put me off of it is that executables and code
references do not express the associative relationship in a human-readable
way.
In revisiting this, I think that it might be best to setup a standard syntax
such as the input stream format for a well-established computer-algebra
language. This would allow the parsing code for that CAS package to be
hacked in such a way that it could show the relationship definition in a
reliable way (which could then be displayed in a relationship
browser/editor.)
The same could be done for any scripting laguage, but using a CAS would give a
lot of power that could be leveraged and you would not want to have to tie-in
every scripting language in existence (although the Inline Perl module could
provide a fairly slick way of doing this.)
