Hey Libor, that's cute! Tain't thought of that one. But, ... How do you
get at the elements? Would be nice if we could have something like 
 [1 2 3 4] (where the spaces are any white space) without the commas so
I could copy and paste from the clipboard straight into the interpreter.
That is one great thing about DrScheme:
Start with at the prompt

 > (histogram '())

or whatever function you need. Highlight the data from a Word (Soffice)
or Spreadsheet, or Web table, middle button click the stuff between the
'() in DrScheme and 

(histogram '(10 32 34 56 ...))

Except they are 'tabs' or 'end of lines' instead of spaces hit the 'end'
key and press 'enter' and watch the magic happen. It's an X thing.
Cannot do that with Windoze.
