#3332 Broken stringout?

[reMiND]

xtr(R,t, phi):=R*sin(t-%pi/4-phi)+t/4;
xtr(4,2*%pi,0), numer;
stringout("test.mac");

test.mac contains:

xtr(R,t,phi):=R*sin(t-%pi/4-phi)+t/4;
ev(xtr(4,2*%pi,0),numer);

Here is additional ev(). Is it intended behaviour?

Yes, that is intentional. When you write something, numer at the input prompt, the actual function call is ev(something, numer) -- the shorter form is just a convenience. The same thing goes for all the other ev flags; see ? ev and ? evflag about that.

I'm closing this report since the behavior is intentional.
