A binding isn't a procedure. Indeed, I'm pretty sure that [eval] doesn't
cache bytecode in bindings because it's more inefficient than
regenerating the bytecodes each time. It's good style to invoke a
procedure, but hardly necessary. And indeed, putting something like
"break" or "continue" inside a procedure called by a binding doesn't
have the same effect as putting it in the binding.
