Sorry for the double posting. This doesn't work as it is, because in
unpriv it's an eval. Without eval, the construction stops working the
moment you add parameters. For the eval option, I don't really like it,
as it becomes super difficult to understand how the quotes interact.
I'm sending a patch in tech@ for discussion about that.
