Yep, that's the trick!  And the _cool_ thing is that writing functions
like this (or often compiling them as a wrapper for an expression)
does not in any way interfere with 5.1's setfenv.  So you can have it
both ways with a if statement....

(This idiom will actually be faster than the 5.1 pattern)
