'memq' and 'memv' are not returning sublists as documented if (quote...)
is used to specify the list that is to be searched. Instead, they are
returning #t. Is this expected (and undocumented) behavior?
(Note: 'member' returns the found sublist for both (list ...) and
(quote ...))

scheme@(guile-user)> ,d memq
-- Scheme Procedure: memq x lst
Return the first sublist of LST whose car is `eq?' to X where the
sublists of LST are the non-empty lists returned by `(list-tail
LST K)' for K less than the length of LST. If X does not occur in
LST, then `#f' (not the empty list) is returned.
