  # NAME
  
  ValueList - Provide an immutable List value type
  
  # SYNOPSIS
  
  ```
  use ValueList;
  
  my @a is ValueList = ^10;  # initialization follows single-argument semantics
  my @b is ValueList = ^10;
  
  set( @a, @b );  # elems == 1
  
  ```
  
  # DESCRIPTION
  
  Raku provides a semi-immutable Positional datatype: List. A `List` can not have any elements added or removed from it. However, since a list **can** contain containers of which the value can be changed, it is not a value type. So you cannot use Lists in data structures such as `Set`s, because each List is considered to be different from any other List, because they are not value types.
