I learnt more about all the strange looking `', creatures by cursorily
reading the first link and casually looking at the flip-flop diagram
seen on the second link.

I am surprised that a book that seems so playful could convey a
fundamental/foundational idea in such simple and succinct terms.

IMO, Elisp manual is too dense here to be really useful.
