For the examples that I gave, probably it is not necessary.

I'm yet to make a concrete complex example to demonstrate its
usefulness in practice. But I think that it is easy to imagine that
there will be some complex commands that are composed by concatenating
multiple strings to be evaled, in which case this may be useful.
