Hi,
I'm in the weeds with several G-exp nesting levels. The code works, but
what is the difference between
'#$something and (list #$@something) ?
The latter seems to evaluate.
Thanks!
Felix

This expands to a quoted form, so whatever "something" splices in ends
up quoted in the output.

This expands to a (list ...) form, where the elements of "something" end
up spliced as the list elements. Each of those elements will be
evaluated in the result, because they aren't quoted.
