First-class procedures in AS

Does Applescript allow you to compile procedures at runtime and treat them as first-class objects? I thought an interesting (if seemingly useless, except perhaps as a CS independent study) project would be to try to implement a subset of Scheme in AppleScript.. I'd probably have to skip "native" continuations as I'm sure they're not supported while running AS code, but if I broke AS code down into steps in an interpreter, I could implement them in that context. (Of course, I wouldn't *need* first-class functions, but they would be nice)
