Correction. Instead of
recentFiles = [file1, file2, ...]
the set method writes:
recentFiles = ['file1' 'file2' ...]
so it is strings of the form "['file1' 'file2' ...]" that must be
converted to a list of strings. The ellipses do not actually appear
anywhere, but I had to indicate "and so on" somehow. Clear enough?
