+Within a quasiquoted form, `unquote` forces evaluation of a symbol. `unquote`

+unquote-splice
+--------------
+
+`unquote-splice` forces the evaluation of a symbol within a quasiquoted form,
+much like `unquote`. `unquote-splice` can only be used when the symbol being
+unquoted contains an iterable value, as it "splices" that iterable into the
+quasiquoted form. `unquote-splice` is aliased to the `~@` symbol.
+
+.. code-block:: clj

+    (def nums [1 2 3 4])
