Okay. Let me re-state this whole thing so that I can assure myself that
I have understood.
(quote my-function) is exactly the same as 'my-function, i.e.
(eq (quote my-function) 'my-function) evaluates to t.
But here we are talking about the result of evaluating
(quote my-function) which isn't a cons but a symbol. But if we have
`(quote my-function) that isn't the same as 'my-function.
Side note: If anybody knows how to type inline code in gnus message,
it would be greatly appreciated.
