24 ;;;; Commentary:
25
26 ;;; eval-region, eval-buffer, and eval-current-buffer are redefined in
27 ;;; Lisp to allow customizations by Lisp code. eval-region calls
28 ;;; `read', `eval', and `prin1', so Lisp replacements of these
29 ;;; functions will affect eval-region and anything else that calls it.
30 ;;; eval-buffer and eval-current-buffer are redefined in Lisp to call
31 ;;; eval-region on the buffer.
32
33 ;;; Because of dynamic binding, all local variables are protected from
34 ;;; being seen by eval by giving them funky names. But variables in
35 ;;; routines that call eval-region are similarly exposed.
36
37 ;;; Perhaps this should be one of several files in an `elisp' package
38 ;;; that replaces Emacs Lisp subroutines with Lisp versions of the
39 ;;; same.
40
41 ;;; Eval-region may be installed, after loading, by calling:
42 ;;; (elisp-eval-region-install). Installation can be undone with:
43 ;;; (elisp-eval-region-uninstall).
