> (eval rep)

`eval' is evil and should be avoided when possible (typically replaced
by `funcall').

Of course, in this case, `rep' is always a value anyway, because all the
arguments of a call are always evaluated before entering the body of the
function (at least in Elisp, which uses "eager" or "strict" or
"applicative order" evaluation) so there's nothing left to evaluate.
