am I missing something?

Is there something new here - besides a burning desire to make up a clumsy buzz word?

If there is, the author failed to make it clear.

Better to spend equivalent time seeking inspiration from studying The Little Schemer than this muddled combination of functors and eval code.

I think what he was really trying to achieve is a poor man's version of Common Lisp macros.

I could be wrong though, the whole article is convoluted and the author only hints as to the purpose and possible benefits of his contraption.
