Jean Louis, could you provide a little more detail on what are you using
~eval~ for?  Some tasks accomplished by eval can be done more safely by
other means.  For example, if you just want symbol indirection, you can
use ~symbol-value~ (there is also ~symbol-function~).  If you want to
apply a function object to a sequence of arguments, you can use ~apply~
or ~funcall~.

I know little about Elisp; more experienced hackers may know about other
mechanisms that avoid the need for ~eval~.
