NAME
list - Create a list
SYNOPSIS
list ?arg arg ...?
______________________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This command returns a list comprised of all the args, or an empty
string if no args are specified. Braces and backslashes get added as
necessary, so that the lindex command may be used on the result to re-
extract the original arguments, and also so that eval may be used to
execute the resulting list, with arg1 comprising the command's name and
the other args comprising its arguments. List produces slightly dif-
ferent results than concat: concat removes one level of grouping
before forming the list, while list works directly from the original
arguments.
EXAMPLE
The command
list a b "c d e " " f {g h}"
will return
a b {c d e } { f {g h}}
while concat with the same arguments will return
a b c d e f {g h}
