Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing documentation for map and list, then read the issue comments for any decisions about the behavior. Document whether map list [1 2 3] and the equivalent operation with more than two lists are guaranteed, including the relevant alternative syntax if needed. Done means the behavior and its scope are explicit to readers.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

map list [1 2 3] behaves as desired, producing [[1] [2] [3]]. But, is this guaranteed? I have not been able to deduce it from the documentation. E.g., one might expect to have to use [# -> (list #)] instead of just list. And similarly for multiple lists (more than 2). Of course the existing behavior is much better!
