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?
