I chose it because you get an `equal' value when you quote the value (to

`1` doesn't have this characteristic: `1` and `'1` are not `equal'
values.


Ok - so here is part two of the exercise to check whether you have
understood quoting.  Is the `length' of this strange value `''''''...`

  (a) 0   or
  (b) 1   or
  (c) 2   or
  (d) infinite/undefined ?
