That's a false distinction. You used `quote' rather than `list'. Macroexpand your form to see: ,---- | user> (quote ((+ 1 2) (+ 3 4))) | ((+ 1 2) (+ 3 4)) `---- Quote is not a list constructor. It simply returns what the reader had constructed without evaluating it, and in this case, the reader had constructed a list. What you should have supplanted the vector literal reader with was the `list' function: ,---- | user> (list (+ 1 2) (+ 3 4)) | (3 7) | user> (vector (+ 1 2) (+ 3 4)) | [3 7] `---- -- Steven E.
