For built-in gretl commands a series works as a one-element list;
I agree (I think) that the same should go for user-defined
functions taking a list argument. I'll look into this.
That's now implmented in CVS. If a function wants a list as
argument and the user supplies a single series, then we
automatically construct a temporary list containing that series.
The scope of this list is the function in question; it is
destroyed on exit.
