The problem is that eval-case has really murky semantics -- to me at
least. We've *never* needed to use it in the past, to my knowledge,
except to distinguish toplevel expressions from lexically nested
expressions -- an iffy use, IMO. (Any definition should be valid
anywhere a definition is valid.)

So I think we should /discourage/ eval-case -- but how would people know
if it weren't deprecated? It's still there, in deprecated.scm. I would
say deprecate it now, and remove it in the next series.
