*evaluation-environment*

Holds the current evaluation environment, defined by ANSI as being the environment which compile-file sets up when it does compile-time evaluation.

If the compiler does compile-time-eval (not compile-time-too) processing, then the environment may be an evaluation environment, established by the compiler. All operations on a compilation environment held by *evaluation-environment* are the same as an evaluation environment, with the exception that the environment is consulted for ce-get operations before trying the global running environment. This gives the compile-time-eval environment a "read-only" feel, and ensures that definitions created while in this mode are persistent after the environment is disestablished.

See environments.htm for more information on environments.
