I'm reading the text that (help) displays

scheme@(guile-user)> (help)
Usage: (help NAME) gives documentation about objects named NAME (a symbol)
       (help REGEXP) ditto for objects with names matching REGEXP (a string)
       (help 'NAME) gives documentation for NAME, even if it is not an
object

[...]

I'm confused by the last line:

       (help 'NAME) gives documentation for NAME, even if it is not an
object

in the part: "even if it's not an object"

Conversely, the first line states: "...about objects named NAME..."

It seems that some things are objects and some things aren't

Which things are and which aren't ?

If I try

(help 'car)

I get

scheme@(guile-user)> (help 'car)
While compiling expression:
no code for module (quote car)

as if I had asked for help about a module

I'm confused

Which is a thing that is not an object that I could ask help about ?

Thanks
