I didn't see that, thanks!
Richard: backquotes are special. Using them indicates you want to
interpolate inside the expression. For example:
(setq a 4)
'(a) => (a)
`(,a) => (4)
`(,(format "hello #%s" a)) => ("hello #4")
So you want to avoid them unless you're sure you need them. See
(info "(elisp) Backquote") for more.
