Actually, the intent of SUBLIST is that the above can be written as:
foo $$ bar nitz $$ quux meow
First, consider the first $$:
EXPR1 = (foo)
EXPR2 = bar nitz $$ quux meow
Now EXPR2 needs to have its own $$ processed:
subEXPR1 = (bar nitz)
subEXPR2 = (quux meow)
append1(subEXPR1 subEXPR2) =
append(subEXPR1 list(subEXPR2)) =
append( '(bar nitz) list('(quux meow)) =
(bar nitz (quux meow))
EXPR2 = (bar nitz (quux meow))
append1(EXPR1 EXPR2) =
append(EXPR1 list(EXPR2)) =
append('(foo) list('(bar nitz (quux meow)))) =
'(foo (bar nitz (quux meow)))
.. which is the desired s-expression.
