Also I would like to make a suggestion: In my humble opinion, the
syntax to print list elements is not so intuitive and it looks like
very different from the other uses of the "print" command. My
suggestion is use something like this:

print list1 --names

or

print list1 --varnames

Actually it's not so easy to arrange that. The thing is that 
lists are basically "transparent" to gretl commands: they 
automatically cash out to their membership. And option flags 
are generally used to inflect how a command is executed, not 
to change radically how it is parsed, as would have to happen 
here.

But here's an alternative you might like:

eval varname(list1)

This now works in CVS/snapshots. It should have worked before 
but there was a bug in "eval" for handling anonymous strings.
