Idiom #134 Create a new list

Declare and initialize a new list items, containing 3 elements a, b, c.

def items = [a, b, c]

a, b and c may have different types.
const items = [a, b, c];
const items = new Array(a, b, c);

This works fine, but read the doc carefully!

var
  Items: TList;
  a,b,c: pointer;
begin
  Items := TList.Create;
  Items.Add(a);
  Items.Add(b);
  Items.Add(c);
end.

Note that in the example a,b, and c don't hold any meaninfull data.
