#### 1.3.2 Delimiters

All whitespace characters are delimiters. In addition, the following characters act as delimiters:

    (  )  ;  "  '  `  |

Finally, these next characters act as delimiters, despite the fact that Scheme does not define any special meaning for them:

    [  ]  {  }

For example, if the value of the variable `name` is `"max"`:

    (list"Hi"name(+ 1 2))                   ⇒  ("Hi" "max" 3)
