How does the parser know that, say, "((def))" is not a valid expression
in the surrounding Lisp forms? Is it important that it be separated by
space, or be the last token on the line?

Trying to concoct a motivating example, consider a structure represented
as nested lists:

,----
| '(a
|   ((b c) d)
|   (((e) f))    ((def))
|   g)
`----

Without knowing what the enclosing `quote' form means, how do know that
"((def))" is not part of it?
