[CM] Bug in (apply set! ..)

[Christos Vagias]

Oh, I have been missing something:
"[..] and set! evaluates its second argument, so [..]"

I now realize that to see get the behavior I was going after I needed to

(apply set! 'x (quote 'bar) ())

I guess it's not inconsistent at all, I just completely missed the double
evaluation going on with  the 2nd argument.

Thanks for the thorough explanation & sorry for the wrong alarm!
