| **Note that `list{a, ...b, ...c}` is a syntax error**. We don't support multiple spread for a list. That'd be an accidental linear operation (`O(b)`), since each item of b would be one-by-one added to the head of `c`. You can use `List.concat` for this, but we highly discourage it. | ||

| Updating an arbitrary item in the middle of a list is also discouraged, since its performance and allocation overhead would be linear (`O(n)`). | ||
| **Note that `list{a, ...b, ...c}` was a syntax error** before compiler v10.1. In general, the pattern should be used with care as its performance and allocation overhead are linear (`O(n)`). |
