OK, I think I finally get it, correct me if wrong. With eager regime
we need to store FAE-Value types in the repository, which are, in
fact, the possible outputs of our evaluation, so interpreting before
storing in the repository is what we need. With lazy evaluation we
store FAE expressions in the repository directly leaving the
evaluation until needed (until lookup).

The origin of my problem was that I used DefrdSub defined in 6.4.
There, it should use FAE-Value (which is not yet explained). Now, I've
seen that the code of the interpreter is correct at the end of the
chapter. I always try to do it by myself, so I had to fight a bit
until everything made sense, but that helps understanding things much
better.
