  call-by-value
       
          (CBV) An {evaluation strategy} where arguments are evaluated
          before the function or procedure is entered.  Only the values
          of the arguments are passed and changes to the arguments
          within the called procedure have no effect on the actual


          arguments as seen by the caller.  See {applicative order
          reduction}, {call-by-value-result}, {strict evaluation},
          {call-by-name}, {lazy evaluation}.
