I have a hard time understanding the rules for the evaluation of the 
metadata in the reader. Following example illustrates this:

(let [x :foo
        v1 (quote ^{x 4} [1 2 3])
        v2 ^{x 4} [1 2 3]] 
  (println (meta v1) v1)
  (println (meta v2) v2))

prints

{x 4} [1 2 3]
{:foo 4} [1 2 3].

Is it a desired behavior that reader is influenced by whether it reads 
inside a quoted form? Even strangely, 

(let [x :foo
        v1 (quote ^{x 4} [])
        v2 ^{x 4} []] 
  (println (meta v1) v1)
  (println (meta v2) v2))

prints 

nil []
{:foo 4} []

Best,
JW
