[plt-scheme] Semantics of quote
Mark,
I'm not sure the question you asked is the one you meant to ask.
QUOTE in Scheme is pretty straightforward. The interaction of QUOTE
and QUASIQUOTE + UNQUOTE takes a little more work. The interaction of
QUOTE and QUASIQUOTE + UNQUOTE-SPLICING is more subtle. The
interaction of all these with macros is vastly more subtle.
So, I don't think it's QUOTE you really want to understand, so much as
QUOTE in context. And when you've had your fill of understanding, you
can start to call it QUITE. Or even QUIT. (-:
