Hmm, not sure of this, at least for `repeat-complex-command' something
like (region-beginning) is already evaluated and recorded as an integer
no ?
Oh! ok I see, something like M-: (region-beginning)
will be recorded as something like 

(pp-eval-expression (quote (region-beginning)))

I still don't understand how this would be able to call interactively
something like:

(count-words-region 234 567 nil)
