Otherwise handling outputted arguments becomes inconsistent and problematic. Also, remember when you start adding arguments into an empty list cat, the first argument added will be just an argument until another one is added at which point it becomes a list.

Ok, got it.

It appears that [list store] performs significantly better than [list
cat]. So what I might
do is just make a wrapper abstraction to implement "list cat" around
"list store." That will
clean up the code a bit and probably still perform as well as the
current C code.

I've now got some tests for list cat so it shouldn't be too difficult.
