That's a good point.
It might be better to disallow the list and set versions all together. To
get a list or set you would instead have to explicitly unpack a range/slice
object:
[*(:5)] # [:5] no longer allowed
{*(1:6)} # {1:6} is a dict
That would also solve the misstep of the three-character infinite list.
