It seems reasonably clear to me from the description in the manual that
(append 'a) is legal and evaluates to 'a. I guess the manual is just
ambiguous enough to confuse people coming from other Lisps where things
don't work this way, so a little tightening of the language is called
for, but I don't think that there is any question about what the right
thing is here.
