When considering the underlying representation: of fixed-length list
vs. variable-length list, I think the choice becomes much easier.  If
you were converting between Python and C++, I'd want [] to go to
list<T> and () to go to vector<T>.  Again, because of the underlying
representation, not because of any syntactic congruity.
