I'm a bit mystified how syntax quote does what it does. I don't see how syntax quote can quote the whole while unquoting parts without some evaluation-time intervention. If I had to implement it myself, I'd just punt the problem to evaluation-time by introducing a special form 'unquote', e.g.:
`(a b ~(c d)) (quote ((unquote a) 3 (unquote (c d))) But this isn't what Clojure does, so I'm wondering, how does syntax quote do its business while remaining strictly a reader-time only mechanism? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
