9.5.1 Exceptions

There are two exceptions to rules governing Shorthand transformations:

  • Symbol forms comprised entirely of characters in the Emacs Lisp symbol constituent class (see Table of Syntax Classes) are not transformed. For example, it's possible to use - or /= as shorthand prefixes, but that won't shadow the arithmetic functions of those names.
  • Symbol forms whose names start with '#_' are not transformed.
