QUOTE function

[Siskin-Bot]

Submitted by: BrianH

QUOTE would be like the equivalent function in Scheme, disabling evaluation for its argument. Not all types have lit-* equivalents, so this would help with those. QUOTE of values of function types or of parens should be particularly useful.

Suggested by Peta.

>> quote :a
== :a
>> quote #[function! [[][print "hello"]]]
== #[function! [[][print "hello"]]]

Implemented in mezz-control 582 and r2-forward 583. This function will be helpful for local functions created with COMPOSE of the outer function's code block.
