-===== Metaprogramming =====
-==== AT Zero - AmbientTalk without syntactic sugar ====
-==== Quasiquoting and splicing ====
-In AmbientTalk, it is possible to quote an expression. In that case the quoted expression is not evaluated, but literally returned instead.
-Quoting and expression is done with the ''`'' operator. Quoting a number or a string results in the same number or string.
-<code>
->`3 == 3
->>true
->`3 + 8
->>11
->`"text" == "text"
->>true
-</code>
-Quoting an identifer results in a symbol:
-<code>
->foo
-Undefined variable access: foo
->`foo
->>foo
-</code>
-<code>
->def o := object: { def m() { 5 } }
->><object:5800647>
->o.m()
->>5
->`(o.m())
->>o.m()
-</code>
-==== First-class abstract grammar ====
