But wouldn't it be nice to know it at time of compile instead of time of
execution????

That way I could fix the problem BEFORE it halts on me.





That is what "testing" is for.

Bottom line, if your app does not have to have accurate numbers;
IE you don't care about data over/under runs DO NOT use eval,
however if you want very accurate numbers in your app, use eval
and use is correctly (test/test/test)

Just IMHO
