Correct :)
Here comes another one:
Suppose I want to define a variable, but I don't know its name
-- it is contained in another variable. For example:
(define a 'b)
I want to assign a value to the symbol "contained" in a.
(that would be b in this example). The problem is that "define"
quotes its first argument. How to achieve it?
