Yes, that's how "Jensen's Device" is used to implement call-by-name. However, note that the expression passed to an Algol 60 function by name causes the expression to be evaluated in the context of the function being called. Each time the formal parameter appears in the called function the expression passed to that parameter is re-evaluated.
