<P>
A list display is a possibly empty series of expressions enclosed in
square brackets:

<P>
<dl><dd><pre class=verbatim>
list_display:   "[" [expression_list] "]"
</pre></dl>

<P>
A list display yields a new list object.  If it has no expression
list, the list object has no items.  Otherwise, the elements of the
expression list are evaluated from left to right and inserted in the
list object in that order.
