<div><h1>WrapperType -- a class of lists with abbreviated constructors</h1>
<div class="single"><h2>Description</h2>
<div>These are the types <tt>X</tt> of lists that can be constructed by expressions of the form <tt>X {a,b,c,...}</tt>, or, for lists of length one, by an expression of the form <tt>X a</tt>. They also act on sequences.<p/>
<table class="examples"><tr><td><pre>i1 : X = new WrapperType of BasicList
o1 = X
o1 : WrapperType</pre>
</td></tr>
<tr><td><pre>i2 : X {a,b,c}
o2 = X{a, b, c}
o2 : X</pre>
</td></tr>
<tr><td><pre>i3 : X a
