"Concretely, a quotation is an immutable sequence of objects, some of which may be words, together with a block of machine code which may be executed to achieve the effect of evaluating the quotation. The machine code is generated by a fast non-optimizing quotation compiler which is always running and is transparent to the developer."
$nl
"Quotations form a class of objects, however in most cases, methods should dispatch on " { $link callable } " instead, so that " { $link curry } " and " { $link compose } " values can participate."
{ $subsection quotation }
{ $subsection quotation? }
"Quotations evaluate sequentially from beginning to end. Literals are pushed on the stack and words are executed. Details can be found in " { $link "evaluator" } "."

"Quotation literal syntax is documented in " { $link "syntax-quots" } "."
