strict evaluation
     
        call-by-value evaluation order is sometimes called "strict
        evaluation" because, in a sequential system, it makes
        functions behave as though they were strict, in the sense
        that evaluation of a function application cannot terminate
        before evaluation of the argument.  similarly, languages are
        called strict if they use call-by-value argument passing.
     
        compare eager evaluation, lazy evaluation.
