I have no plans to go there in the foreseeable future, but that
shouldn't stop anyone else.

I think an intermediate step would be to do it for code like

    (defun my-even? (x)
      (cl-labels ((even? (x)
                    (let ((odd? (lambda (x) (or (= x 1) (even? (1- x))))))
                      (or (= x 0) (odd? (1- x))))))
        (even? x)))

but even that requires a fair bit more work than what I've just done,
I think.
