@alamb @scovich. Other infrastructure for these types seems to be already in place.

Main question in my mind: Is this like binary, where we need to force everything to a preferred list type that downstream variant code requires? Or just a few missing match arms? I think it's the latter, but I don't see any tests in this PR that give evidence in either direction?

It is the latter. I didn't add any tests because I didn't see any for other types, including originally supported List.

Other types seem to be covered by existing integration tests suite, but it shouldn't cover other List-like types cases.

I'll add some unit tests.

@scovich I added the unit tests
