Then you are using the wrong language.  Go read about Smalltalk, or
Lisp flavors, or something.

If you are bound and determined to do this in C, you must implement
your own type function binding systems.  You may want to just write a
complete C interpreter, although from your description it sounded as
though you might be able to omit one or two things.
