It looks like this does NOT allow for use of function-like language constructs. e.g. $e = echo(...); $p = print(...); $r = require(...); // etc... 1/ Is this intentional? 2/ Is this actually a good thing? I'm actually of a mind that it's a good thing, as surprising ways to reach eval() are foot-guns waiting to happen, but wanted to get confirmation. -Sara
