In a similar way I wonder if it is possible to have API functions that 
directly call an opcode by name. So you can do something like
int csoundPerformOpcode(char* opcodename, and then stuff here to deal with the 
variable input argument list,  pointers to the variable output)

Return 0 on succes and various error codes on failure


That way one can build a csound-sounding synth bypassing the orc and sco 
languages altogether. 

Is that possible?
