When I execute this command, the result is "Value = T".

What especially confuses me is that, in the example I gave originally, the
function works correctly on my second attempt.  This makes me think that the
function is getting compiled ... possibly even correctly.  This even works
with more complicated function definitions; I get errors, then it works.
