Although that's a reasonable question it doesn't address the main problem, as 
there are lots of other opportunities for confusion like this one. For example, 
if I see '(foo ․ bar) in Elisp source code, I'll naturally think it yields a 
cons of two symbols. It doesn't: it yields a list of three symbols, because that 
dot is not a FULL STOP (U+002E); it's a ONE DOT LEADER (U+2024).
