	As I recall from my programming language design class (only and
intro, it was so small we met in a meeting room rather than classroom),
ALGOL was described as "call by name"; somehow the supplied argument was
"plugged into" the parameter usages... So if one did something like
	call X(a+3)

and the routine was define as
	X(m)

ever use of "m" in the routine evaluated the "a+3" /at that time/...
Unlike most other language which would evaluate "a+3" in the caller's
space and (FORTRAN: pass a reference to an anonymous memory space
holding the result; C: put the result itself on the stack; Python: bind
"m" to the object created by evaluating the expression)

	From my viewpoint -- there is no difference in Python...

	The parameter name, defined in the routine declaration, is bound to
the object given as the argument in the call...
