Types

Scalar types are returned without any special syntax.

Lists of scalar types are returned one element per IRC message, preceded by the string LIST and ended by the string LISTEND.

Lists of n-tuples are returned one tuple element per IRC message and in order, preceded by the string TUPLELIST <n> and ended by the string TUPLELISTEND where <n> is the arity of the tuples in the list.

For example, here is a list of the numbers 1, 2, and 3:

LIST

And here is a list of the 2-tuples (A, 1), (B, 2), and (C, 3):
