NAME
       list - Create a list

SYNOPSIS
       list ?arg arg ...?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       This  command  returns  a list comprised of all the args, or an empty string if no args are specified.  Braces and backslashes get added as
       necessary, so that the lindex command may be used on the result to re-extract the original arguments, and also so that eval may be used	to
       execute	the  resulting	list, with arg1 comprising the command's name and the other args comprising its arguments.  List produces slightly
       different results than concat:  concat removes one level of grouping before forming the list, while list works directly from  the  original
       arguments.

EXAMPLE
       The command
	      list a b "c d e  " "  f {g h}"
       will return
	      a b {c d e  } {  f {g h}}
       while concat with the same arguments will return
	      a b c d e f {g h}
