** TODO A quasiquote inside a quasiquote is refused

Decided 2026-09-25: nest the way SBCL and Clojure both do. The desugaring counts depth, an unquote belongs to the innermost quasiquote, and =~~x= reaches out two levels — SBCL's =*backquote-depth*= in =src/code/backq.lisp=. The reader stays as it is.
Nothing counts nesting levels — not the reader, deliberately, and not the
desugaring. Only a macro that writes a macro wants one.
