denominator of really complicated expression



As noone else seems to have answered so far, let me just clarify one point:

Those are Lisp delimiters: with standard settings, a symbol $foo would
be interned as $FOO by the Common Lisp reader, which is prevented by
the |...| syntax, cf. CLHS section 2.1.4.5.1
<http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/02_adea.htm>;.

I cannot help with the rest, though.
