You can't really say "print a string that contains a list opener" and then "print the following N list items" and then "print the list closure". Obviously, this speaks merely to the immaturity of the library (and a bit to its use thus far only for relatively small pieces of information), so "it's a simple matter of programming" to fix. :-) -- C.
