@peterdrake Not a python expert, but if it's internally consistent, then the list would be a literal, but the variables could be references or literals based on their original type.
Another term for this, however, would be "inline instantiation".
@LouisIngenthron A variable is by definition not a literal, right? My understanding is that a literal means "this exact value, unaffected by anything elsewhere in the code".
