I am also wondering why evalcmd()? When discussing the name in Neovim bug tracker I was against `evalcmd()` because for `eval('expr')` expression result is expected to be the only effect (though it is not necessary, most expressions used with `eval()` do not have side-effects). Commands on the other side do not have any results of evaluation at all, they are run for their side-effects and `capture()` just records one of their side-effects, so `eval…` is not a good name. Note that this function is not going to be used only for capturing output, in some cases it will be just a replacement for `:execute` which works in expression context.
