a list can be initialized from a range, array, or (after PR #16708) an iterator expression.

However assignment is only supported between lists. For example, the following fails to compile:

use List;
var A:[1..2] int = 1..2;
var intList: list(int);
writeln(intList);
intList = A;

Should = overloads be added to List to handle these cases?
