Whatever you think would be best. Currently exactly the same that would
happen locally for string(list_var) or string(dict_var). I find it more
usable than the current behaviour of sending list items separated by
newline characters (but it's backwards incompatible, of course).
E.g. I got this with remote_expr():
Remote Vim claims that g:test_list = "[[101, 102, 103, 104], [201, 202, 203,
204, [101, 102, 103, 104]], [301, 302, 303, 304, [201, 202, 203, 204, [101,
102, 103, 104]]], {'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 'quux', 'dict1': {'foo': 'FOO', 'baz':
'BAZ', 'bar': 'BAR', 'dict2': {'list1': [101, 102, 103, 104], 'list2': [201,
202, 203, 204, [101, 102, 103, 104]], 'list3': [301, 302, 303, 304, [201, 202,
203, 204, [101, 102, 103, 104]]]}}, 'bar': 'baz'}]"
Remote Vim claims that g:test_dict0 = "{'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 'quux', 'dict1':
{'foo': 'FOO', 'baz': 'BAZ', 'bar': 'BAR', 'dict2': {'list1': [101, 102, 103,
104], 'list2': [201, 202, 203, 204, [101, 102, 103, 104]], 'list3': [301, 302,
303, 304, [201, 202, 203, 204, [101, 102, 103, 104]]]}}, 'bar': 'baz'}"
