Subject: Definition of a sexp
Date: Wed, 08 Jan 2025 19:30:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ApVU-W-SGaQ7zVbGF-viK8cwn2-3DHBX9MjVy7RLHGo0oZMayu2aur0QNhDzNcPDz86uVKoQu-P26GL3xfmnXuvp6Bh07QOToRcIOH90aqs=@protonmail.com> (raw)


In https://emacsdocs.org/docs/elisp/Parsing-Expressions
a sexp is described as either a balanced parenthetical 
grouping, a string, or a symbol. 

Is this description correct?  Is there a reason why a
word or symbol in considered a sexp?
