Before I forget this question: in a similar manner, I am seeking for a  =

generic name for procedure or function, when the main purpose of a packa=
ge  =

is a procedure or function. I though Apply and Eval or Get of Value coul=
d  =

be option (Value being my current favorite for pure functions), but I'm =
 =

not clearly fine with any one of these.

I know seeking for this kind of genericity is a disputable target, but  =

that's something in which I believe (kind of experiment at least) and I =
 =

will simply drop it anyway, if I don't feel OK with any name.

Just telling here in case anyone already did the same.
