For what it's worth, it's not clear whether it's a good idea to be thus identical. In particular, the string version of setTimeout seems to be to have been a design mistake that we should not repeat.... I understand why it might make sense to make setImmediate as much like setTimeout as possible, of course. I'm just not sure whether that's enough reason to proliferate the eval semantics of setTimeout. -Boris
