No, I don't see that "the semantics of dynamic binding are being
violated".  This is exactly the behaviour I would expect from an
un-compiled FEXPR.  (I was wrong in classifying it as "call by name",
the evaluation of this is generally done in the calling environment.)

I do agree, however, that this should be more explicitly spelled out.
It bit me the first time, too.  Given that expressions must be either
all FEXPRs or all EXPRs, I think I prefer the FEXPR interpretation.
