5:26:34 moon-child if something is an atom (and not a symbol), then it is a constant

5:26:48 moon-child if it is not an atom, or it is a symbol, then it might also be a constant

6:43:02 mrcom Anything can be a constant. For example, I just had to fix some of my code when SBCL started treating a DEFCONST structure as a literal constant.

6:46:07 mrcom From clhs definition of CONSTANTP: "An implementation is permitted, but not required, to detect additional constant forms. If it does, it is also permitted, but not required, to make use of information in the environment. Examples of constant forms for which constantp might or might not return true are: (sqrt pi), (+ 3 2), (length '(a b c)), and (let ((x 7)) (zerop x)). "
