## `*` List Syntax (25/9/25) ## `*` List Syntax (25/9/25)
Prior to this update, you would use `*list` to reference a list (direct or value). This worked initially, but began to cause problems with functions (is it `-list &ref` or `-list *ref`) and custom structures. Due to this, and that it would be a pain to maintain, this syntax is no longer supported. Prior to this update, you would use `*list` to reference a list (direct or value).

The current day alternative is to use direct references, i.e. `getlistat &listname $idx &store` instead of `getlistat *listname $idx &store`. You can still use the old syntax (for now), but it is highly discouraged as you will run into a plethora of issues when trying to work with lists in functions and structs.
