Subject: bug#72334: [PATCH] Always print commas and comma-ats specially
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2025 15:59:06 -0500

>>> Could you please summarize the issue that this is intended to fix?
>> (cons 'foo (list '\, 'bar)) should be printed as (foo . ,bar) instead of
>> (foo \, bar).  Same for (foo . ,@bar) and (foo . `bar), and maybe even
>> (foo . 'bar) and (foo . #'bar).
> Stefan M, any comments?

I haven't looked at the patch, but the goes above sounds good.
It doesn't occur very often in my experience, but when it occurs it does
look odd and can easily confuse the reader.
