I can see, from careful inspection, that this is true. It surprised the heck out of me. I'd have expected it to evaluate it now, not to return the last evaluated value.
Should it do this? If so, we should fix the manual.
Eek! Every call to c_value_of_root for a local changes the selected frame and reinitializes the frame cache, discarding previous unwindings. That's awful. I sure hope it isn't necessary.
