I running into a somewhat unexpected behavior for a list of lists. Here is what happens in the listener:

eqs:((list 4, 2, 1, 3), (list 16, 4, 1, 12), (list 8, 1, 0, 0))
# listener prints back the list ((4, 2, 1, 3), (16, 4, 1, 12), (8, 1, 0, 0)). So far so good
e:eqs
# listener nicely print the list again ((4, 2, 1, 3), (16, 4, 1, 12), (8, 1, 0, 0))
e
# listener prints the actual value of e: 2.718282. Why???
# I have also tried, with the same amount of success :(
e:each eq in eqs end

How can I copy a list of lists? And why do I get this decimal value assigned to e even though the listener prints back the list that I'm trying to copy into e?

Edit:

I found the issue, e is a constant so even though Lil doesn't complain about me assigning a value to it the assignment doesn't actually happen and fails silently.
