Yeah, probably.  Feel free to move it correspondingly.

Also, why do we need syntax?  Is it standardised or something?
IIUC it's just an alias for quote.  At least in the compiler
that's how it's treated.  In the interpreter there seems to be
a different handling for it (???).

It's not documented and rarely used (only in one or two places
in core), so maybe we can just get rid of it, instead (after testing
that replacing it with ##core#quote works).

Cheers,
Peter
