If necessary, we may adapt the recent idea with list-name[] and allow
passing ranges to the lists, similar to tables.
What I have in mind:
1. variable=list-name will assign top-level items as a list (item1 item2 ...)
2. variable=list-name[] will allow nesting: ((item1) (item2 (sub-list)) ...)
3. variable=list-name[from:to,...]
It will be a new feature, of course.

I am also in favour of staying as close as possible to the manual. I find
converting lists to tables non-intuitive.
