;;; Commentary:

;; eval-region, eval-buffer, and eval-current-buffer are redefined in
;; Lisp to allow customizations by Lisp code.  eval-region calls
;; `read', `eval', and `prin1', so Lisp replacements of these
;; functions will affect eval-region and anything else that calls it.
;; eval-buffer and eval-current-buffer are redefined in Lisp to call
;; eval-region on the buffer.  

;; Because of dynamic binding, all local variables are protected from
;; being seen by eval by giving them funky names.  But variables in
;; routines that call eval-region are similarly exposed.

;; Perhaps this should be one of several files in an `elisp' package
;; that replaces Emacs Lisp subroutines with Lisp versions of the
;; same.

;; Eval-region may be installed, after loading, by calling:
;; (elisp-eval-region-install).  Installation can be undone with:
;; (elisp-eval-region-uninstall).
