I would like E to allow trailing commas in comma-separated lists, so I
can write code like
[
one,
two,
three,
]
without needing to remember to add a comma to the formerly-last item
when I add another item.
A related issue: The list- (and map-) pattern, unlike the
list-expression, does not permit a line break after the leading [,
requiring me to write:
def [ \
one,
two,
three
] := ...
