S9 LIB (eval object1) ==> object
(eval object1 object2) ==> object
Evaluate the Scheme expression represented by OBJECT1 and return its
normal form. The expression is evaluated in the current environment,
so local bindings are visible to EVAL:
(letrec ((f (lambda (x)
(if (zero? x)
1
(* x (f (- x 1)))))))
(eval '(f 10))) ==> 3628800
Note that the object representing the expression must be quoted, or
it will in fact be evaluated *before* EVAL is called:
(eval (+ 1 2)) ==> 3 ; 3 is passed to EVAL
(eval '(+ 1 2)) ==> 3 ; (+ 1 2) is passed to EVAL
When OBJECT2 is passed to EVAL, it will be ignored. It is only accepted
to offer compatibility with other Scheme systems, which may expect an
environment to passed to them in the second argument.
(eval '(memq 'c '(a b c d e)) 'whatever) ==> '(c d e)
