OK, I put it in with "Trying to". Also, I changed "self-evaluating symbol" to "Constant variable" because the latter class includes the former, and also includes a few variables like most-positive-fixnum that are not self-evaluating but still cannot be modified. Who came up with the term "Constant variable", anyway? They must have had an odd sense of humor.
