[Cuis-dev] Backticks

[Phil B]

Casey,

It's just an ad hoc literal syntax useful for frequently called code.  It
provides a bit of a performance boost as well as a corresponding reduction
in GC's.  So rather than something like 0 @ 0 which will create a new point
at run time each time it is called, `0 @ 0` will create the point once at
compile time.

Thanks,
Phil
