Until now we have lacked the concept of a List. We of course have had Tablets since the beginning of the language. We use the same conventional
[...]syntax as every other language to delimit a List as well as Tablet. This slightly redefines a Tablet as a list of Pairs, where a Pair is a labelled value.The surface parser admits a list structure with either Values or Pairs, but then the translaton phase determines whether the structure is a List or a Tablet, throwing an error if the two forms are mixed.
