We're stretching Jam's limits a bit here, but if you want to put a regular
list in the list class, I think you just need something which assigns
unique names in a namespace (e.g. the namespace of the outer list). Then
you stick the name of the inner list in the outer list. So, you'd have:

l = [ peek $(l) : [ $(l).at 0 ] ];
ECHO $(l) ;
