Unhygienic quote #6

@lassik

Description

@lassik

The "Esoterica" guide should mention the good old "unhygienic quote" bug/feature which still features in the latest RnRS.

'foo expands to (quote foo). The keyword quote can be redefined locally, which causes surprising effects. Same goes for quasiquote, unquote, unquote-splicing.

(let ((quote square)) '5) => 25
