Re: [DOC] About Lisp Data Types

[Kevin Vigouroux]

I think the structure of the text is a bit shaky especially for the
convergence with the textual representation. Let's go over it again.

    Throughout this manual, the phrases “the Lisp reader” and “the Lisp
    printer” refer to those routines in Lisp that convert textual
    representations of Lisp objects into actual Lisp objects, and vice
    versa.  *Note Printed Representation, for more details.

The first statement is confusing. Does the “Lisp reader” manage the
textual representation in some way? Different meanings are mixed
together and can no longer be differentiated: the objects manipulated by
Emacs Lisp, the Lisp program (read ⇆ eval), the source code (syntax).
