There is 1 mechanism instead of 4, and it also happens to be the fundamental basis of evaluation.
There is no way to measure "absolute power" of elegance, which is the issue being gotten at here.
Not to say Mathematica has it gotten it perfect either, because it hasn't. But I have yet to see a superior implementation, and have seen a lot of clunky ones in my search.
