Hello! I just noticed that quote constructs different lists than backquote. We have
user> (= `(v 3) `(v ~(+ 1 2))) true but user> (= '(v 3) `(v ~(+ 1 2))) false user> (= '(v 3) `(v 3)) false and user> (= '(v 3) (list 'v 3)) true user> (= `(v 3) (list `v 3)) true user> (= '(v 3) (list `v 3)) false user> (= `(v 3) (list 'v 3)) false The cause seems to be that user> (quote `a) (quote user/a) user> (quote 'a) (quote a) Is there a good reason for this behavior? What is the rationale behind it? What is the most idomatic way to construct a list (in which certain sub-expressions are to be evalutated) such that it is equal to a quoted list? Thank you!
