-;; This is a new backquote for GNU Emacs written by
-;; Rick Sladkey <jrs@world.std.com>. It has the following
-;; features compared to the version 18 backquote:
-
-;; Correctly handles nested backquotes.
-;; Correctly handles constants after a splice.
-;; Correctly handles top-level atoms and unquotes.
-;; Correctly handles unquote after dot.
-;; Understands vectors.
-;; Minimizes gratuitous consing.
-;; Faster operation with simpler semantics.
-;; Generates faster run-time expressions.
-;; One third fewer calories than our regular beer.
+;;; Commentary:
;; This backquote will generate calls to the backquote-list* form.
;; Both a function version and a macro version are included.
