Summary: Python 2.2a1  List functionality

Initial Comment:
a= [1,2,3]
b= list([1,2,3])
a == b                                gives a result of 1  - Good
type(a) == type(b)               gives a result of 1  - Not good

a and b have different methods.

Perhaps the list class should be 'List' to (a) distinguish between the two types
and (b) to follow the convention that class names start with an upper case
letter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
b.__add__(22) gives a warning                           - Good
b.__radd__(22) crashes W95 OSR2                      - Very Bad
