Selecting multiple elements of a list using an expression like [[1:10]]
does not work.  For example:

x<- list("a","b")
x[[1:2]]

produces

Error in x[[1:2]] : subscript out of bounds

In general, the expression x[[1:2]] is not meaningful, as the elements
of the list may be of different type, with no way to concatenate them.

That's the wrong explanation: the expression x[[1:2]] is meaningful, but it means the same thing as x[[1]][[2]], not
c(x[[1]], x[[2]]).
