[theme-reviewers] Alternative to eval()

[Philip Walton]

Out of curiosity, why are you wanting them to be able to execute PHP? I 
would think that someone savvy enough to hand code PHP into a textarea 
would be savvy enough to add it to the functions.php.

Or perhaps, if you're worried about upgrades overwriting such 
modifications, you could make your own custom-functions.php file that 
isn't controlled by svn. (Actually, that still may get deleted in an 
upgrade, someone else would have to confirm.)
