list - Create a list
list ?arg arg ...?
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.
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}
