bug#9482: specific manual text suggestion |

Hi Stefan,
As I mentioned in this bug. The manual already has an example of this
trap in the nconc section. Maybe just a pointer to it.
So my suggestion for specific text would be:
"WARNING: '(a . b) is not short-hand for (cons 'a 'b). The former
does not cons. Quoting should be reserved for constants that will
*NEVER* change. See <link>nconc</link> for example of unexpected
results when a quoted object is modified."
My terminology may be not quite right, but if I read something like
this, the difference would be much clearer.
