What I'd like to do precisely is to be able to evaluate an expression like
"a+2*b" (using eval) where a and b are objects which behave like numarray
arrays, but whose values aren't computed until their used.

I need to compute the values when used because the arrays could depend on
each other, and the easiest way to get the evaluation order correct is to
only evaluate them when they're used.

An alternative way is to do some string processing to replace a with
computearray("a") in the expression or something horrible like that.

Thanks

Jeremy
