I think it's preferable for the explicit EvaluateExpression API's to always run the expression parser - so I agree with the decision you've made here. But I think the help string for the setting needs to make that clearer.

Should we maybe add the same functionality to those API calls, but with another setting that's disabled by default? So that if someone knows about DIL and would like to enable that, they could do it.

Added the docs, comments, and updated the description. Please check if they make sense.
