/**
* Alias for `eval` global.
*
* ## Notes
*
* -   A reference to `eval` is treated differently by the compiler. For example, when evaluating code containing block-scoped declarations  (e.g., `let`, `const`, `function`, `class`), the compiler may throw an `error` complaining that block-scoped declarations are not yet supported outside of `strict mode`. One possible workaround is to include `"use strict";` in the evaluated code.
*
* @param str - code to evaluate
* @returns returned value if applicable
*
* @example
* var v = evil( '5*4*3*2*1' );
* // returns 120
