The Elisp type system is dynamic which means type checking is
done at run-time. The type is associated with the value,
not the variable.
I guess it is as easy as the type is determined by the syntax
of the input/return value?
E.g., lists:
(list 'x 'y 'z)
'(x y z)
`(x ,@'(y z))
strings:
"aaa"
(make-string 3 ?a)
characters:
?a
97
vectors:
(vector 1 2 3)
[1 2 3]
and so on - or am I wrong?
