It could call `compile', in 2.0.  It probably doesn't want to though.

It sounds a bit academic, but this is not a moot point: as things are
now, one can replace any call to `eval' with `compile'.  Or, replace the
implementation of `eval' with `compile'.  I suppose local-eval would be
a different beast, though.
