Hi,

yes. In 1.2 the ' will be not part of the symbol +, but it will be attached 
to the following 1, quoting it. The reader of 1.3 will consume the ' as part 
of the + symbol. To clarify this a little:

1.2 sees: [+ '1] (<=> [+ (quote 1)])
1.3 sees: [+' 1]

Too "outrageously clever" for my taste, since the reader has no official 
specification whatsoever. The rules on clojure.org are not enforced by the 
current implementation. +' could just as well be rejected in 1.2 with ' not 
being allowed in symbols without breaking the rules named on clojure.org. 
IMHO one should avoid such undefined behaviour.

Sincerely
Meikel
