This has me stumped
How can I recreate a variadic reporter
I'd like to be able to create a list block of any length but I can't find a way of creating the 1st item by scripting

I see what you mean. I (and you, I suppose) would have expected LIST to be a regular variadic reporter, but it's not: LIST doesn't accept an input list. A perfectly good reason for that may be that a hypothetical would report a copy of it's input - several other mechanisms existing, so what would be the use of that?
So LIST must be a special form.
What do you need it for?
I absolutely understand why it's so hard to figure out, it's not shown when you split by blocks.
Basically, just put the number of inputs you want in the first input in the list, then put the values in the rest of the list. I split it up by using append, so it's easier to tell that it's different.
Or e.g.: .
I remember having read about it earlier - within this forum, probably - but only now your post reminded me of it. The whole construct is so idiosyncratic, it ought to be described explicitly in the Reference Manual (I don't think it is).
Having gone out for the to the Lake District (lovely place in North_West England) with daughter and dog has inspired me to come up with this
I wouldn’t recommend using join with input list, it can provide some buggy results if you use ringed inputs
Does not fit your problem?
I was having a bath and it came to me that I've been so engrossed in splitting scripts and replacing blocks and re-joining in my OpenSCAD codification project - that I'd forgotten the basics of Snap!
I was in doubt when Jens said that metaprogramming may be misleading in some way. But it seems that it really happens...
wow! I had no idea this was a thing!
Thanks so much!
