You mean FEXPRs, like
(de pg-trans X
... )
where 'X' is bound to the unevaluated argument list, right? As this function
later *does* evaluate the args with (mapc eval X), it is indeed not good to
quote these args, as you *want* them to be evaluated.
If they are quoted, they evaluate to the expression itself, instead of being
executed, and this makes no sense here.
BTW, instead of (mapc eval X) it is better to call (run X) or even
better (run X 1).
