OK, I did not know that list() was a new intrinsic function,
thanks. But since "list" is my most used variable name, V8.0 is not
backwards compatibile.

On the other hand, since I was a strong supporter of abandoning
support for indexing with round parentheses, I shouldn't complain too
much. But I suspect that this will be a recurring backwards
compatibilty problem.
