Right.

Something like "callin (FUN, ENV, ...)" would also be reentrant
(presuming a reasonable implementation), but still offer some of the
functionality of setfenv for cases where "in ENV" doesn't suffice.

[Another possibility would be "copyfun (FUN, ENV)", which could return a
copy of FUN with the environment replaced by ENV.]
