Ohhhhh.  Thank you very much.

I have and/or see things like this:
     (setq org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance (quote ("crypt")))
     org-agenda-span (quote month)
     org-agenda-files (quote ("~/org/project.org"))

and I know that "cons" makes a list.  I didn't realize that "quote"
also makes a list.

TIL.
