anonymous list

Sometimes we want to create a list just to assign it to a record as a field, or pass it to a component. Consider kvt for example:

First we have constructed a list:

-- kvt.kvt list data:

-- data: Lorem ipsum
value: Network

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

-- data: Lorem ipsum
value: Low

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

And then passed it to the actual view:

-- kvt.table: CVSS base metrics
data: $data

What if we could do this instead:

-- kvt.table: CVSS base metrics
data: 
> -- kvt.row: Lorem ipsum
> value: Network
>
> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
>
> -- kvt.row: Lorem ipsum
> value: Low
>
> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

We can do the same for records:

-- person a:
jobs:
> -- job: Intern
> company: FifthTry
> started: 2022-08-22
> ended: 2022-12-07
> 
> Implemented some cool stuff.
>
> -- job: Dev Ops 1
> company: FifthTry
> started: 2022-12-08
>
> Deving some ops.
tags:
> -- string: whatever
> -- string: whatever-else

This is assuming we have already implemented #381.

The actual final syntax is:

-- person a:
-- person.jobs:

-- job: Intern
company: FifthTry
started: 2022-08-22
ended: 2022-12-07
 
Implemented some cool stuff.

-- job: Dev Ops 1
company: FifthTry
started: 2022-12-08

-- job.tags:
-- string: yo
-- end: job.tags

-- job.body:

Deving some ops.

-- end: person.jobs

-- person.tags:
-- string: whatever
-- string: whatever-else
-- end: person.tags

-- person list people:

-- person: Amit
-- person: Abrar

-- end: people

-- component foo:

-- string foo.description:

This is the description.

What if there is a list of list?

-- (string list) list foo:
-- string list:
-- string: hello
-- string: bye
-- end: string list
-- end: foo
