Hello Nicolas,

I agree with you about introducing 'eval' into the code base. This was
just me getting the code from 8.3 back in a format the current code
understand. Which leads me to conclude that this is not new
functionality, just old undocumented functionality. I've found out about
it through this SE post: http://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/7903

Anyway, I'll modify the patch and include documentation for this
functionality.
