 Lists define arbitrary sequences of CUE values.
 A list can be closed or open ended.

+Open-ended lists may have some predefined elements, but may have
 additional, possibly typed elements.
 
 In the example we define `IP` to be a list of `4` elements of type `uint8`, which
 is a predeclared value of `0..255`.
 `PrivateIP` defines the IP ranges defined for private use.
 Note that as it is already defined to be an `IP`, the length of the list

 Also note that instead of writing `...uint8`, we could have written `...`
 as the type constraint is already already implied by `IP`.
