No, because the special syntax is used mostly for quotations, the rest for comments:
'x (quote x)
`x (quasiquote x)
,x (unquote x)
,@x (unquote-splicing x)
#'f (function f)
in CL, (syntax f) in Scheme with syntax-case, (var f) in Clojure.
#`x (quasisyntax x)
#,x (unsyntax x)
#,@x (unsyntax-splicing x)


lambda is more than a trivial quotation, in terms of syntax.
