I guess you were talking about implementing the _structure_ of lisp
lists in python syntax (as you seem to imply), not trying to emulate
their _behavior_ with one-dimensional python lists. That makes sense,
and your code is correct in that case; but in the other case Brendon's
code is correct. So everyone was right (only, about different things).
