You get the expression that is specified, which can give different 
values at different times unless it involves only constants.

It can't be exactly the same as writing an identical expression in place 
of the missing argument, as apparently different scopes come into play 
if names are involved.

However I mainly use them for constant values. And [] is a constant 
value in my opinion.
