;;; Commentary:
;; When the Lisp reader sees `(...), it generates (\` (...)).
;; When it sees ,... inside such a backquote form, it generates (\, ...).
;; For ,@... it generates (\,@ ...).
;; This backquote will generate calls to the backquote-list* form.
;; Both a function version and a macro version are included.
;; The macro version is used by default because it is faster
;; and needs no run-time support. It should really be a subr.

;; function and macro versions of backquote-list*
