No. Engineering no-brainer principle that says "don't use eval, unless

I would not waste valuable time arguing with Kenny.
It's way too easy to introduce obscure bugs with eval to use it all day
long without thinking.
Yeah. I use it moderately often, but about 99% of my uses of eval are of
the form
eval x=\$foo_$count
where I know exactly what can possibly be generated.
