!!! GREAT !!!

I didn't had time to play with it yet, but I have a few questions
since I tried to do something like that some time ago at a higher
level (using an annotation processor and reflection [1]):

1) As s-expressions are encoded in the constant pool, it seems that
they are static. So, it's possible to compile and evaluate them, but
it doesn't seem possible to dynamically (at runtime) modify them, is
that right?

2) I didn't see any quotation feature, did I miss it? Note that
implementing a "quote()" function wouldn't be too difficult, I
think...

Cheers,
Bernard
