Conversion behavior
From string
Passing a string value into this function returns a list of the string's graphemes.
<%letters = [list: "hello"]>
[assert-eq: <letters>; (h; e; l; l; o)]
From list
Passing a list value into this function returns a shallow copy of it.
This is equivalent to calling [copy] on the list.
From range
Passing a range value into this function returns a list of the range's elements in order.
<%seq = [range: 0; 5 |> list]>
[assert-eq: <seq>; (0; 1; 2; 3; 4)]
