Hi Alex,

I think it's not the special case of nil, false and true what's
causing me headache. I'm having difficulties wrapping my head around
following:

;; First quoting doesn't change the type:
user=> (= (type 42) (type (quote 42)))
true
;; But consequent quoting changes the type. Ugh ???
user=> (= (type 42) (type (quote (quote 42))))
false

My conclusion: a state has been introduced to the computation.
(presumably by the quote)
Or am I missing here something?

Bost
