If eval appears to have same access if defined like in the article:

   my &eval = &EVAL
then that is largely moot.

Its possible that's a bug and not an intentional design decision. I certainly hope it is, because I agree with you that it doesn't make sense to hide it behind a pragma but have this workaround.
