#2865 Use exp as a list

[Ricardo]

Use exp as a list should work like the rest of the words.

Egg:

/* example with word expr (not exp) */
expr:makelist(1,3);
expr[1]:5;
print(expr);
/* prints [5,1,1] */

/* example with word exp */
exp:makelist(1,3);
exp[1]:5;
print(exp);
/* prints [1,1,1]
   the first element should be 5, but it was 1! */

exp is used as function exponential, if it cannot be used as a list, then a message error should be printed when someone assigned a list to it.

Thank you for reporting this bug.

More generally, it turns out that for any name which has both a noun and a verb form, name[i]:val assigns to the verb symbol, not the noun symbol. This is a bug.

Fixed by commit [6b5fa46], Thanks for pointing it out. Closing this report.
