2.4.8.2 Sharpsign Single-Quote

Any expression preceded by #' (sharpsign followed by single-quote), as in #'expression, is treated by the Lisp reader as an abbreviation for and parsed identically to the expression (function expression). See function. For example,

(apply #'+ l) ==  (apply (function +) l)
