Perhaps you could provide a representative situation with surprising
behavior that lead to you asking this question?

Early on in CL, I remember one use of quoting that caught me off
guard: passing a quoted list to a macro.  The '(...) form was
converted to (quote ...) by the reader, and so the macro saw the
'quote' symbol as the first element of my argument list.  I expected
it to only see my list as written.
