function map accept a quoted list as its seconds arguments:
(map inc '(1 2 3 4 5))
but above expression returned a list? or a quoted list? I think its should be a quoted list, because it could used with second map:
(map inc (map inc '(1 2 3 4)))
I don't know if it is a macro with map, but the expression with map is evaluted with some delay.
How to know a primitive function is macro or common function?
The evaluted order about primitive function? I know `eval` is first should be evaluate than `println`.

It returns an unevaluated list:
As does:
(1 2 3 4)
which is why you can do:
;-> (3 4 5 6)
I don't think built-in functions are exactly macros, but many of them have special behaviour: e.g.
I think must have a type of data structure -> 'lazy-list' in newLISP, which would not be evaluted when passed into function as argument. most of list processing function would return a 'lazy-list'.
