does quote...end really create a QuoteNode?

[Spencer Russell]

the metaprogramming docs say that `quote…end` produces a `QuoteNode`, but when I try:

julia> quo = quote

       x=2

       y=3

       end

quote  # none, line 2:

    x = 2 # none, line 3:

    y = 3

end

julia> noquo = :(

       x=2;

       y=3)

quote

    x = 2

    y = 3

end

and `dump` the results, they both seem the same except for the presence of line number nodes in the `quote…end` one (on 0.4.6 and 0.5). Is there something else that creates the `QuoteNode`?

Thanks,

Spencer

julia> qn = :(:n)
:(:n)

julia> ex = :("My docstring about n, which has value $($qn))")
:("My docstring about n, which has value $(:n))")

julia> dump(ex)
Expr
head: Symbol string
args: Array{Any}((3,))
1: String "My docstring about n, which has value "
2: QuoteNode
value: Symbol n
3: String ")"
typ: Any

julia> dump(qn)
QuoteNode
value: Symbol n
