[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Severity: wishlist

As a followup from [1], here is a patchset which replaces the master's
current rejection of confusable quotes on `read', and instead adds a
hint to the error message when evaluating an expression with a
confusable quote leads to an error.

And also highlight such quotes with warning-face.
