Line 110:

This is because, since <code>cond</code> is defined as a normal Lisp function, the Lisp interpreter attempts to evaluate <code>(misc-variable-name 1)</code>. This is a no-op, because <code>misc-variable-name</code> is not the name of a function. That's why cond is called a "special form" - its syntax is handled specially by the interpreter. -- [[User:CYD|CYD]]
