That seems unfortunate from my point of view. That might be a good
(maybe simple) solution for most cases but what is I don't want other
who require test to have access to those functions? I want them to be
called only by eval-string? Then it seems I don't have any other choice,
do I? I need to provide them without questioning. That's what bothers
me.

Thanks,
