16 ;;; The flags passed back by BACKQUOTIFY can be interpreted as follows:
19 ;;; NIL: [a] => a ;the NIL flag is used only when a is NIL
20 ;;; T: [a] => a ;the T flag is used when a is self-evaluating
21 ;;; QUOTE: [a] => (QUOTE a)
22 ;;; APPEND: [a] => (APPEND . a)
23 ;;; NCONC: [a] => (NCONC . a)
24 ;;; LIST: [a] => (LIST . a)
25 ;;; LIST*: [a] => (LIST* . a)
27 ;;; The flags are combined according to the following set of rules:
28 ;;; ([a] means that a should be converted according to the previous table)
30 ;;; \ car || otherwise | QUOTE or | |`,@| | |`,.|
31 ;;;cdr \ || | T or NIL | |
32 ;;;================================================================================
33 ;;; |`,| || LIST* ([a] [d]) | LIST* ([a] [d]) | APPEND (a [d]) | NCONC (a [d])
34 ;;; NIL || LIST ([a]) | QUOTE (a) | <hair> a | <hair> a
35 ;;;QUOTE or T|| LIST* ([a] [d]) | QUOTE (a . d) | APPEND (a [d]) | NCONC (a [d])
36 ;;; APPEND || LIST* ([a] [d]) | LIST* ([a] [d]) | APPEND (a . d) | NCONC (a [d])
37 ;;; NCONC || LIST* ([a] [d]) | LIST* ([a] [d]) | APPEND (a [d]) | NCONC (a . d)
