     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  index
          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.   For 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}
