Thanks. I've never used them, so far.

We might add special handling for `eval-after-load' eventually, but
`eval' should be more rare: I'd expect that most of the time it's passed
a variable, not a straight quoted form. Although yes, mutual canceling
of `eval' and one quote shouldn't be too hard to implement.

Ok, good. See the updated patch (in another email).
