And I'll note in passing that both the Info node ‘(elisp)Intro Eval’
and the glossary of the Common Lisp HyperSpec find this idea common
enough to assign it a short name. A ‘form’ is an object meant to be
evaluated. Every form is an object, but not every object is a form
(depending on context). The separation of reading and evaluation
is also called out specifically in the above Info node, and there's
even a footnote which I read as unlinking the ‘sexp’ term from the
expectation of evaluation (but the context is ambiguous).
