Wow, yes it most certainly did, including the confusing explanations I
read before yours. Also, I did mis-type something: I meant to say
'keywords evaluate to themselves' rather than 'symbols evaluate to
themselves.' But you gave a great explanation. The point with asdf is
that it 'generously' accepts almost any way of naming the system to be
loaded, and that's what I didn't know.

Thanks again for your explanation.
