Not really needed, just a convenience thing. Like a symbol that means `thing =
thing` in a list.

var/list/a = list(
 a = a,
 b = b,
 c = c,
 thing = thing
)


to something like

var/list/a = list(
 a=,
 b=,
 c=,
 thing=
)

I'm kind of curious, what is your use-case for a list where L[a] == a?

Parameterized SQL.
