That would make sense to me. There should be an easy way to convert between the two. > I'm definitely in favour of the basic idea.

I thought about that, but if you want an entire expression to be unevaluated, you have to pass this argument to every function inside the expression (nested all the way down to the basic levels that are okay to evaluate). Doing things top-down makes it a lot easier to not evaluate an entire subexpression, but you have to catch things at the preparse stage to do that.
