What would that function do? It would behave similarly to `symbol-value' now. I understand that, though it is rather general. The main difference is that it wouldn't be implicitly used just by using the SYMBOL because it wouldn't be considered as a normal variable. What wouldn't be considered as a normal variable? I am lost here. It sounds like a step backwards, though. If we can make the function work right, we can make it work right for variable values.
