Hm ... interesting ...
There is no explicit _list data type_ in Elisp,
(defvar num-list nil) ; nil
(setq num-list '(1 2 3)) ; (1 2 3)
(listp num-list) ; t
(type-of num-list) ; cons
But there is an explicit _list function_, i.e., `list', that
returns a list, made up out of (car cdr) (or cons cells)
but nonetheless ...
Does that mean there is an explicit list data structure
in Elisp? Or is it implicit?
Or is it just implicit in '(1 2 3)?

Can it do the other thing around?
