«Sharpsign S»
S as in "Structure", yes, but the above post had a dollar sign after the sharp sign.
«#S(words :words-seen '(foo bar baz))
Is short for
(make-words :words-seen '(foo bar baz))»
... Except that the former is a literal constant, so it only needs to be read, while the latter is a run-time value, which must be in a for-evaluation position.
[P.S.
So the single quote must be dropped from the former to match the latter.]
The same applies to the difference between 1/2 and (/ 1 2), of course.
