You've had this conceptual problem before. I have it too sometimes.
The fundamental issue is that there is an intermediate, internal type
called "cs-list" that isn't exposed in the interpreter except in
obscure ways. You can't assign a cs-list to a variable, but you can
obtain one in several ways from struct and cell arrays.
