See [Passing a string into function as a expression - #14 by GunnarFarneback](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/passing-a-string-into-function-as-a-expression/31625/14) if you really want to explore evaluating strings. Be aware that it’s in many ways an inferior solution and definitely slower, but sometimes it may be what you want.
