Subject: bug#69168: [BUG] 30.0.50; pp-emacs-lisp-code produces invalid elisp for backquoted forms
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2024 14:19:19 -0500

Observe the output of the following two expressions:


(eval (read (with-temp-buffer
             (pp-emacs-lisp-code '`(1+ ,(1+ 1)))
             (buffer-string)))
     t)

;; => eval: Invalid function: `(1+ (,(1+ 1)))

(eval
(read (with-temp-buffer
        (insert (pp-to-string '`(1+ ,(1+ 1))))
        (buffer-string)))
t)

;; => (1+ 2)


The form returned by pp-emacs-lisp-code is:

(` (1+ (, (1+ 1))))

The backqoute and comma are not escaped, resulting in the error.
It looks like the logic in pp--insert-lisp would need to be 
extended to account for backquoting constructs.
