    It would behave similarly to `symbol-value' now.

I understand that, though it is rather general.

      The main difference is
    that it wouldn't be implicitly used just by using the SYMBOL because it
    wouldn't be considered as a normal variable.

What wouldn't be considered as a normal variable?
I am lost here.

It sounds like a step backwards, though.  If we can make the function work
right, we can make it work right for variable values.
