I remember reading some notes about Ruby 2.0 and the desire to  
clarify the semantics
of multiple values.  This seems to be the same area of the language  
where * comes into
play.  For example:
	a.method arg1, *other_args
or
	a,b,c = *args

Since the */unarray operator causes an array (or an object that can  
produce an array
representation of itself) to be used as a list of values, how about  
using 'to_list'
instead of 'to_splat'?
