Sorry. I was using the term 'list' in it's general sense, rather than
the Python definition. In other words, anything that is normally
represented by items seperated by commas. So Python lists and tuples
are in, str and unicode (and anything else normally represented by an
unbroken string of characters) are out. 

I'm sure even that definition has holes but maybe it's clearer.
