Expression Calculation - dropping returns?

[Patrick Durusau <patrick@durusau.net>]

Greetings!

In current Expression Calculation, propose to drop:

>   1.
>
>       If an expression is a constant number or string, that constant
>       is returned
>
>   2.
>
>       If it is a reference, the reference is returned. If a reference
>       is to be displayed, the /value of the reference /is displayed,
>       not the reference itself.
>
What an expression or reference returns should be defined by its 
definition. Yes?

Why repeat that here?

Should only have rules, such as order of evaluation, which are *not* 
defined elsewhere here.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Patrick
