;;; Commentary:

;; This is a simplistic implementation that does not allow any modification of
;; buffers or global variables.  It does no dataflow analysis, so functions
;; like `funcall' and `setcar' are completely disallowed.  It is designed
;; for "pure Lisp" formulas, like those in spreadsheets, that don't make any
;; use of the text editing capabilities of Emacs.

;; A formula is safe if:
;;  1.  It's an atom.
;;  2.  It's a function call to a safe function and all arguments are safe
;;      formulas.
;;  3.  It's a special form whose arguments are like a function's (and,
;;	catch, if, or, prog1, prog2, progn, while, unwind-protect).
;;  4.  It's a special form or macro that creates safe temporary bindings
;;      (condition-case, dolist, dotimes, lambda, let, let*).
;;  4.  It's one of (cond, quote) that have special parsing.
;;  5.  It's one of (add-to-list, setq, push, pop) and the assignment variable
;;      is safe.
;;  6.  It's one of (apply, mapc, mapcar, mapconcat) and its first arg is a
;;      quoted safe function.
;;
;; A function is safe if:
;;  1.  It's a lambda containing safe formulas.
;;  2.  It's a member of list `safe-functions', so the user says it's safe.
;;  3.  It's a symbol with the `side-effect-free' property, defined by the
;;      byte compiler or function author.
;;  4.  It's a symbol with the `safe-function' property, defined here or by
;;      the function author.  Value t indicates a function that is safe but
;;      has innocuous side effects.  Other values will someday indicate
;;      functions with side effects that are not always safe.
;;  The `side-effect-free' and `safe-function' properties are provided for
;;  built-in functions and for functions and macros defined in subr.el.
;;
;; A temporary binding is unsafe if its symbol:
;;  1.  Has the `risky-local-variable' property.
;;  2.  Has a name that ends with -command, font-lock-keywords(-[0-9]+)?,
;;      font-lock-syntactic-keywords, -form, -forms, -frame-alist, -function,
;;       -functions, -history, -hook, -hooks, -map, -map-alist, -mode-alist,
;;       -predicate, or -program.
;;
;; An assignment variable is unsafe if:
;;   1. It would be unsafe as a temporary binding.
;;   2. It doesn't already have a temporary or buffer-local binding.

;; There are unsafe forms that `unsafep' cannot detect.  Beware of these:
;;   1. The form's result is a string with a display property containing a
;;      form to be evaluated later, and you insert this result into a
;;      buffer.  Always remove display properties before inserting!
;;   2. The form alters a risky variable that was recently added to Emacs and
;;      is not yet marked with the `risky-local-variable' property.
;;   3. The form uses undocumented features of built-in functions that have
;;      the `side-effect-free' property.  For example, in Emacs-20 if you
;;      passed a circular list to `assoc', Emacs would crash.  Historically,
;;      problems of this kind have been few and short-lived.
