Yep - it was a bug.
The all too common "think before you post"-bug (or maybe DEBUG before
you post)

I tried the above construct in the following context
[first(rest(someList))] and expected a list of one element (related to
my last post)
therefore my other check  [rest(someList)] DID work  *ARGGHHHHHH*

How about an enhancement so that maybe (a) withing []
prevents enumeretion of a.  
i.e. [(a),(b),a] yields  [a,b,a.1,a.2,a.3...]
(for some very distant future release...)

I will now go to sit in a corner and  try not to bother you for 
some time ;)


Bye,

Ulf
