Indeed, I'll welcome a writeup of why :immediate is useful and how you envision it to be used; that'd be much better than "because it's a dynamic-evaluation-during-compilation feature, and we are working with dynamic-typing-during-runtime languages, so of course we want it".

To be even clearer: The two "dynamic"s above are orthogonal; you can have interleaved evaluation-during-compilation without dynamic typing, and you can have dynamic typing without interleaved evaluation.

Hence I'm puzzled why you raise the "dynamic language" categorization as a justification, for that term usually refers to dynamic typing, not to :immediate. If it is referring to :immediate, then Python/ Ruby/PHP would become static languages. :-)

Thanks,
Audrey
