BasicList

BasicList -- the class of all things represented internally as a list. A list is a sequence of expressions indexed by integers 0, 1, ..., N-1, where N is the length of the sequence.

The reason for distinguishing List from BasicList is so lists can be treated as vectors, without everything else implemented as a basic list inheriting that behavior.
