This is good in theory, but for compatibility reasons the
implementation may be forced to support the indirect eval. For
example, at least recently some Goggle's pages contained var e=eval;
to compress the code. So I do not see how specifying more stricter
cases for ES4 would change the situation in practice. Hence this idea
to make at least new ES4 features immune from eval universality.
