#,

[Leonard Zubkoff <edsel!lnz@labrea.stanford.edu>]

The only time I've ever used #, is the following one instance:

(defconstant program-version #,(form-to-decide-what-the-version-should-be))

The reason I needed to do this is that:

(1) I wanted the version to be decided at the time I loaded the above form.
(2) The form resides in a compiled file.
(3) I wanted a constant, not a variable.
