Did you find it? If you did, let me know. I do not know how to find
that.

Do you wish to say that (concat) ➜ "" yields empty string and that (*)
➜ 1 yields number one only for reason that it becomes easier to Emacs
developer to program in C language? In that case reasoning would be
awkward.

Or do you refer to Lisp? That is what I am searching.
