@defun indirect-function function
+@anchor{Definition of indirect-function}
This function returns the meaning of @var{function} as a function. If
@var{function} is a symbol, then it finds @var{function}'s function
definition and starts over with that value. If @var{function} is not a
@code{max-lisp-eval-depth} (see below).
@end defun

@deffn Command eval-region start end &optional stream read-function
+@anchor{Definition of eval-region}
This function evaluates the forms in the current buffer in the region
defined by the positions @var{start} and @var{end}. It reads forms from
the region and calls @code{eval} on them until the end of the region is
@code{eval-current-buffer} is an alias for this command.

-@anchor{Definition of max-lisp-eval-depth}
@defvar max-lisp-eval-depth

This variable defines the maximum depth allowed in calls to @code{eval},
@code{apply}, and @code{funcall} before an error is signaled (with error
message @code{"Lisp nesting exceeds max-lisp-eval-depth"}).
