-;; features compared to the version 18 backquote:
-
-;; Correctly handles nested backquotes.
-;; Correctly handles constants after a splice.
-;; Correctly handles top-level atoms and unquotes.
-;; Correctly handles unquote after dot.
-;; Understands vectors.
-;; Minimizes gratuitous consing.
-;; Faster operation with simpler semantics.
-;; Generates faster run-time expressions.
