Daniel Ehrenberg wrote some stuff about evaluating function params at
runtime.

Some of us can recall statements like this one:

"Nevertheless, there's no chance in hell this will ever change, so
let's drop the subject."

..and some of us who don't can easily Google for it.

Are you sure you want to waste (I mean spend) time on this Sisyphean
task Yet Again?
