Doesn't the appropriate conversion depend on the contract between the sender and receiver (i.e. an array of type 'c' may either be converted as list(arr) or arr.tostring() depending on the app)? Is the goal to save writing explicit conversions by presuming that most iterables aspire to be lists for transport purposes?
