Subject: nested backquotes

Message-ID: <vpqr7g4bm9d.fsf@ecrins.imag.fr> (raw)

Hi,

I'm experiencing problems with nested backquotes in Emacs lisp:

Emacs 21 says:

ELISP> ``( ,,(+ 1 2))
(cons
 (+ 1 2))

Whereas XEmacs says:
ELISP> ``( ,,(+ 1 2))
(list 3)

Question 1: Who is right? (I'd say XEmacs here. I don't understand
Emacs's behavior)

Question 2: Is there a portable way to use nested backquotes in Emacs
Lisp?

Thanks,

-- 
Matthieu
