AFAICT, it is not really explained on (info "(elisp) > Anonymous Functions"), it is more hinted at. I don't know of any benefit to using #', or any reason to use it. If there is one, I'd like to know about it. In the absence of a reason, I think we may as well keep Lisp simple by quoting function names with singlequote. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
