I have wondered whether "quote", "quasiquote", and "unquote" should be
renamed to "#%quote" or "#quote", etc.
In theory, the names are problematic for quoted s-exp data like SXML and
xexprs. And I believe the names are used only rarely in code for their
current purpose, outside of macro transformers.
Scheme did well to ditch "nil" and "t", IMHO. I don't know why the
quoting syntax was allowed to keep polluting the identifier namespace.
