(macroexpand-1 '(lambda (x) (+ x n))) => #'(LAMBDA (X) (+ X N))

Also, #' is a read-macro.  Fully expanded the #'(lambda expression
would be

(function (lambda (x) (+ x n)))

Then there's the "defun" macro . . . .

superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry
and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about
in nature. --- Fred Hoyle
