A set of values is again a value.  So is a list of values.  This is similar to 
C++ where a field of an object can again be an object.

[1..] is a value of type [Int] and every element can be considered a part of 
this value.

P.S.: Didn’t send this to the list in the first place.  I don’t like mailing 
lists which don’t set the Reply-To: field.
