Subject: Why does assq fail when getting quoted value from a property list?
Date: Sun, 5 Aug 2018 22:55:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADq_+R3yzagmpN76GGc0LYJAo2=P65PZDGXp7TdLEAkZ1iGf8A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

This returns (urgent . 2) as I'd expect:

(assq 'urgent '((urgent . 2)))

Why does this not return the same?

(let ((lookup (plist-get '(:severity (quote urgent)) :severity)))
              (assq lookup '((urgent . 2))))

Thanks,

Cody
