The result of the `macroexpand-all' call is an expression (i.e. a list most the time). Just a normal list that happens to look like and being usable as code. So unless you want 'EXPR instead of EXPR you don't need to quote: the result will not be evaluated (unless it's the returned expansion of a macro call, but then you want the evaluation). As I said, why don't you try? Michael.
