Hello Ray,
to be more clear.
The context for the facts of asksign is only present during one
evaluation with meval*. The facts are killed after the evaluation with
meval*. This is the design we have and I think this design is useful for
the user, because it does not make sense to answer again and again
redundant questions.
I have not intended to change this behavior, but to implement it more
strong.
