Well, that approach would also work.  I'm just not sure it's what
people would expect.  It's a little retroactive for .[] to change the
context of the expressions in ().  These days I think I'd rather have
something out front that specifically says you want a list of scalars.
Perhaps

    scalar(1,(2,3),4)

should be our list of scalars context, and produce [1,[2,3],4].  Or maybe
something else should indicate LoS.
