This variable is the basis for a trick by which we diagnose uses of ;;; the unquote syntax inside forms which are not vectors or lists, such as: ;;; #`#s(foo-structure :bar #,z) without an cooperation from the readers of ;;; these forms. In some cases, however, such unquote syntax will cause the ;;; reader of the subform to raise an error before we catch it.
