  - When closing a composite stream, all references to its elements are now erased.
 
+ - Backquote forms are now translated into lists containing the macros
+   EXT:QUASIQUOTE, EXT:UNQUOTE, EXT:UNQUOTE-SPLICE and EXT:UNQUOTE-NSPLICE.
+   At evaluation/compilation time, the macroexpander for QUASIQUOTE transforms
+   the tree into the appropiate lisp expression. Otherwise, the print
+   representation is preserved:

+
 * ANSI Compatibility:
 
  - DEFSETF forms are enclosed in a block with the name of the accessor.
