Pascal and others,

Moderator politely proposed that I do not continue sub-discussion on 
eval in this thread. If you have some references of the literature you 
mentioned here, please post me privately, off this list.

As main discussion - on best macros - ended, I'll use this opportunity 
to thank to all who contributed to this thread. I got a number of 
valuable answers.
