Clarification: "Assuming that the case for non-auto-expanding lists can be
argued sufficiently for inclusion in Phobos, in the context of list
algorithms that take a variadic number of variadic lists as arguments."
I feel that non-expanding lists only make sense in the context of these
niche algorithms for the reasons explained in the parent post, and thus
do not warrant conflation with auto-expanding lists.
As long as algorithms that operate say on 2 lists expect arguments to
have '.expand' we'd be in a good shape just providing a `packList` or
some such together with `list`.
It would even work out of the box with current user-defined pack types
if they have .expand.
