I don't write `("blabla") on the off-chance that someone would want to
replace it with `(,(concat `"bla" `"bla")).  We don't quote self-quoting
forms gratuitously, and we don't use quasiquote gratuitously: the latter
only gets used when we indeed use an unquoting form inside.

In short, we don't use constructs for the sake of using constructs.
