Re: [phix] if 'number' then why not 'list' ?

list does carry a lisp-like connotation, and the implication that random access is expensive. Maybe.

Wikipedia (groan) states "Some languages may allow list types to be indexed or sliced like array types, in which case the data type is more accurately described as an array."

And array generally implies fixed length and homogenous element type.
