Description:
------------
It would be nice to see a feature that allowed for functions to be executed, inline, within the current local scope. The behaviour I intend for is that of eval(). Calling eval($code) allows $code to access variables from the local scope from which eval is called. It also allows $code to set variables in this local scope. Both features, if accessible to user-defined functions, would come in handy on occasions.

One particular useful function that could be built if this functionality existed, would accept a string for argument and replace all %foo occurences in it by the -- according to context -- properly escaped value of $foo. Such a function could then be used for composing HTML and SQL strings more easily.

… to shoot your own feet.  I don't think that this will be
implemented ever, but anybody still looking for this feature
should consider to pursue the RFC process[1].
