 25. Slight fix to the logic for auto-naming the `by` clause for using a custom function like `evaluate` to now be named `evaluate` instead of the name of the first symbolic argument, [#3758](https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/issues/3758).

 #### NOTES
 
 1. `rbindlist`'s `use.names="check"` now emits its message for automatic column names (`"V[0-9]+"`) too, [#3484](https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/pull/3484). See news item 5 of v1.12.2 below.
