Does this mean that the value in the definition of a recursively
expanded variable is considered to be a "construct", therefore it can
also be regarded as a "deferred construct"?

This issue is related to my previous question. If the "deferred
construct" in the definition of a recursively expanded variable is the
value (not the variable itself, as I presumed in my original
question), how can that value "appear in an immediate context"?
