-;;; BACKQUOTE is an ordinary macro (not a read-macro) that processes
-;;; the expression foo, looking for occurrences of #:COMMA,
-;;; #:COMMA-ATSIGN, and #:COMMA-DOT.  It constructs code in strict
-;;; accordance with the rules on pages 349-350 of the first edition
-;;; (pages 528-529 of this second edition).  It then optionally
-;;; applies a code simplifier.
-
-;;; If the value of *BQ-SIMPLIFY* is non-NIL, then BACKQUOTE
-;;; processing applies the code simplifier.  If the value is NIL,
-;;; then the code resulting from BACKQUOTE is exactly that
-;;; specified by the official rules.

-
-;;; Backquote processing proceeds in three stages:
-;;;
-;;; (1) BQ-PROCESS applies the rules to remove occurrences of
-;;; #:COMMA, #:COMMA-ATSIGN, and #:COMMA-DOT corresponding to
-;;; this level of BACKQUOTE.  (It also causes embedded calls to
-;;; BACKQUOTE to be expanded so that nesting is properly handled.)
-;;; Code is produced that is expressed in terms of functions
-;;; #:BQ-LIST, #:BQ-APPEND, and #:BQ-CLOBBERABLE.  This is done
-;;; so that the simplifier will simplify only list construction
-;;; functions actually generated by BACKQUOTE and will not involve
-;;; any user code in the simplification.  #:BQ-LIST means LIST,
-;;; #:BQ-APPEND means APPEND, and #:BQ-CLOBBERABLE means IDENTITY
-;;; but indicates places where "%." was used and where NCONC may
-;;; therefore be introduced by the simplifier for efficiency.
