Nice solution, but does not work in all situations because HORNER has an ugly issue.
Example:
1. 0. HORNER is not ok (wrong type)
1 0 HORNER is ok

note, that in the second case the number 1 is a "real integer" (type 28) and in the first case it is a "real number" (type 0).
Implementing a trap for this issue is needed and then it looses some performance.
