Oh, I see. Is this a special circumstance of the macro then, or are symbols bound to strings and actual strings not interchangeable in Lisp?
See my previous reply.
There's nothing specific about Lisp here. The concept you'll want to look up is "literal".
Ok, I think I have a general understanding. I have to spend some more time on macros and the distinction between run-time and compile time.
Thanks for your help,
