A List *does* always itemize to an Array. But parens do not a List make; the discontinuity mentioned is syntactic. (1,2,3) # (or longer) List (1,2) # List (1) # Item () # ? If () goes back to a List, then there's a double discontinuity in the way parenthesized expressions are parsed. On the other hand, there's just that sort of double discontinuity in English pluralization, where we say "2 (or more) items", then "1 item", but then "no items". So perhaps it's justifiable in Perl6 as well. -- Mark J. Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
