VisibleList -- the class of all visible lists

Description

There are three types of lists that can be entered directly from the keyboard, as follows.

i1 : {a,b,c}

o1 = {a, b, c}

o1 : List

i2 : [a,b,c]

o2 = [a, b, c]

o2 : Array

i3 : (a,b,c)

o3 = (a, b, c)

o3 : Sequence

We introduce the class of visible lists as a convenience for referring to lists of these types.

Types of visible list :

AngleBarList -- the class of lists delimited by <| ... |>
Array -- the class of all arrays -- [...]
List -- the class of all lists -- {...}
Sequence -- the class of all sequences -- (...)
