[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies, ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]
We can make any change in Emacs Lisp syntax that we decide to make,
but incoherence with the spirit of Lisp will lead to trouble.
The spirit of Lisp is not something that can be precisely defined,
but experienced Lispers will mostly agree about what it says.
