For example, I eval this in the *scratch* buffer:
(read "( . 123)")
⇒ 123
(read "(1 . ( . (3 . nil)))")
⇒ (1 3)
I can't find explanation about this behavior in elisp manual. Is it
expected?
According to an answer [1] by wasamasa on Emacs StackExchange,
Guile behaves the same, but other Lisp interpreters (csi, pil and sbcl)
and MIT-Scheme don't permit reading this.
