538	NQP list initializers	bsdz		"When a list is declared in NQP with only one element a scalar is created.

i.e, the following nqp script: -
{{{
load_bytecode('library/dumper.pbc');

my @my_list := (10);
_dumper(@my_list, 'my_list');
}}}

displays: -
{{{
""my_list"" => 10
}}}

when it should show: -

{{{
""my_list"" => ResizablePMCArray (size:1) [
    10
]
}}}

A workaround is to place a dummy element and shift it. i.e.

{{{
my @my_list := ('dummy', 10);
@my_list.shift();
_dumper(@my_list, 'my_list');
}}}
