OK, but (AFAIUC) in the above form `function' gets evaluated (so that the symbol `f' -- the function name -- ends up in the list), and then Emacs tries to /evaluate/ the form `(gen 42)'. This probably fooled me (again). Do I get it right that you wanted to show how to generate the argument dynamically and not put a constant in the whole expression?
