'X is expanded by the reader into (QUOTE X), a special form like any other.
- bitsai 16y agoRighto. I had a working implementation that could expand 'x to (quote a) and '(1 2 3) to (quote (1 2 3)), but the case of expanding '''a to (quote (quote (quote a))) stumped me. I realize that ' is a special form like any other... except I haven't figured out how to implement any other special forms either :)
