If you want to apply it to all calculation expressions you can do it in
an H spec.  It may or not be harmless depending on what you're trying to
do. It usually isn't.

Oh I don't know....I see your point, but on the other hand, it's good
that the difference calls your attention to the fact that you are doing
something different with the eval.
