Is it not possible to instead make parameter expansion convert it to
"set foo[3 4 5] foo bar baz"? This is the more intuitive behavior to
me. The other one seems a bit magical and surprising.
How would you note the difference? In either case, you write 'set
foo[(seq 3 5)] foo bar baz' and you get the same results. But this
way, we don't make parameter expansion behave in a different, magical
way when operating on the set builtin, instead the same rules as
always apply.
