Bug description:  Feature to run function inline within the local scope

Description:
------------
It would be nice to see a feature that allowed for functions to be
executed, inline, within the current local scope. The behaviour I intend
for is that of eval(). Calling eval($code) allows $code to access
variables from the local scope from which eval is called. It also allows
$code to set variables in this local scope. Both features, if accessible
to user-defined functions, would come in handy on occasions.

One particular useful function that could be built if this functionality
existed, would accept a string for argument and replace all %foo
occurences in it by the -- according to context -- properly escaped value
of $foo. Such a function could then be used for composing HTML and SQL
strings more easily.
