elisp test case question

[Dirk Herrmann]

Hi folks,

I wonder if the following test case in the elisp test suite is OK:

Tested expression:
(eval-elisp '(apply (lambda (x y &optional o &rest r) (list x y o r)) 1 2 3 
nil))
expected result in the test case (which it actually gives):
(1 2 3 #nil)
but shouldn't this rather be:
(1 2 3 (#nil))
?

If not, how could one distinguish the result from
(eval-elisp '(apply (lambda (x y &optional o &rest r) (list x y o r)) 1 2 3))
?

Best regards
Dirk Herrmann
