Subject: bug#15538: 24.3; Incorrect Expansion of Nested Backquote
Date: Sun, 6 Oct 2013 20:23:08 +0900

The expansion of nested backquote like

``(,,@q)

or

``(,@,@q)

is incorrect.

Please see the following results.


; The followings are from CLtL2 Appendix C. Backquote

(require 'cl-lib)

(setq q '(r s))

(defun r (x) (cl-reduce #'* x))
