What is a literal? Well ....
A literal is an sequence of characters in the source language which denotes a
constant in the target. (somehow an always should be in there somewhere)
I think we can think of nil, true and false as literals, if we just didn't
have the combined
forms #nil, etc. It would just mean nil, false, and true become reserved
words, and then the previously mentioned problem with defining array literals.
