Which is actually related to the second location you mentioned, and
seems to explain enough of what an s-expression is to be
self-contained.
In general, this manual is not an introduction chapter for the ELisp

the ELisp manual where it just mentions some subtlety, but doesn't
describe it. These two places don't seem like they fit.
