In what sense do you mean 'use'?
in boot you can see:
$tw.modules.define("$:/boot/tiddlerfields/list","tiddlerfield",{
name: "list",
parse: $tw.utils.parseStringArray,
stringify: $tw.utils.stringifyList
});
which means that the 'list' field will be converted from space separated
list of tag-strings (including [[tag forn]] of tags) to an array of strings
(and converted back) whenb reading and writing via javascript. (eg
addTiddler() function)
