Rechecked. Now I noticed two messages. One for output and one for return value. Earlier, I didn’t notice the output message. Just picked the last one, which was return. Now I have confusion with single backslash. See following two forms, their output and return values: (message "this \\ is a single embedded backslash") ⊣ "this \ is a single embedded backslash" ⇒ "this \\ is a single embedded backslash" (message "this \ is a single embedded backslash") ⊣ "this is a single embedded backslash" ⇒ "this is a single embedded backslash" Why the output and return same for string with single backslash?
