But also more confusing.  "non-string" is at least accurate.  There's no
compelling reason a non-string form MUST be evaluated.  It could
conceivably be a constant list which has been evaluated at compile time,
for example.  OK, maybe that's too implausible.

Maybe a compromise would be better, leaving the node name, but amending
the comment.  Say:

* Non-string Interactive::  Explicitly evaluated equivalents of the 
letter-codes.

, or something like that.
