Thank you for this valuable comment. What is the scope of
this negative effect of eval() -- current block, current
function, or the entire program?

It means I should not use my `makeref' function in
performace-critical code sections. Fortunately, most of our
code is going to have other performace bottlenecks, such as
DB IO and interaction over network.
