I tried following all of the threads pertaining to this. I'm still confused
and/or just not remembering everything correctly. For clarity, is 'evaluate'
deprecated? (i.e. unnecessary from the user's perspective) Or, are there cases
where it might still be useful but, as with some other features, one can -- and
should -- expect it to be slower?

If so, then, in Mike's defense; until the documentation is updated doesn't its
presence here keep the changes from being continually re-reported as a bug?
