I am curious about something here.  If you know the answers offhand, I'd
appreciate it.  Otherwise I guess I'll look into it at some later point.

Does the record code also query when making an inferior function call
from an expression?  It seems like it ought to, as such a call might
modify the inferior's state.

Also, if an expression does multiple assignments, are there multiple
queries or just one?  It seems like there should just be one.
