He He! Yes that is so.
Some of the most notable things in CS come from such 'mixups'
- data = code in von Neumann machines
- Universal TM swallowing TMS as data
- gödels theorem
More on my blog here
http://blog.languager.org/2012/05/recursion-pervasive-in-cs.html
But there should be some point to the mixup.
I see things like the foll in my custom-file
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
;; And I call the above crud
'(browse-url-browser-function (quote browse-url-firefox))
'(calendar-week-start-day 1)
etc etc
)
If instead it contained an sexp but not valid elisp eg
((browse-url-browser-function (quote browse-url-firefox))
(calendar-week-start-day 1))
there would be no such issue because then what could be in custom-file could
not possibly be in an elisp file and vice-versa
