> Internally, tables/sets/vectors/records are all handled separately at many locations inside the interpreter (tables and sets sometimes are handled together, and sometimes aren't). I believe we should be able to unify much of that code in some form, like by moving more into a parent class {{CompositeType}}.
> I'd like to see most of these {{if ( is-it-type-A ) … if ( is-it-type-B ) …}} go away.
> That would also make it much easier to implement a real list type.
