I remember wanting to do something similar, but I found that you cannot have
parameters for a transformation function ;_;

I would up using a macro to generate parts of the function, but making a series
of functions that duplicate the behavior of a matrix in a symbolic fashion was
very difficult for me.  I wound up making simpler functions, which could not
provide the ability to arbitrarily transform a function by varying amounts.

Anyway, I would be curious as to how your code is, if you don't mind posting a
sample.  If your method provides a more elegant way of taking a point (x,y,z)
and spitting out a new, transformed point(x',y',z'),  I can think of many uses
for it.
