quote



I don't understand why people object to quote and not to double-quote.
For me the identifier (variable name) FOO and 'FOO are two distinct
objects which have no relation except potential similarity in printed
form (like "FOO" when display is used).  It is EVAL that is funny, in
the same way that linkers for all operating systems are funny in that
they transform what was previously considered passive data into active
data or programs.
