There are no "quoting rules" for indirect-variable or indirect-function. They are regular functions and have the same argument evaluation semantics as every other regular function. > More troublesome though is that neither `indirect-function' nor > `symbol-function' document their return values in any meaningful way: They mention that they return a "function definition", which is appropriately abstract given that these functions don't depend in any way on the details of function representation. Function values are already documented in detail elsewhere, and duplicating that documentation would not be helpful.
