It could call `compile', in 2.0. It probably doesn't want to though. It sounds a bit academic, but this is not a moot point: as things are now, one can replace any call to `eval' with `compile'. Or, replace the implementation of `eval' with `compile'. I suppose local-eval would be a different beast, though. Regards, Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
