// ExprList tests if the given expression is a static list construct and,
// if so, extracts the expressions that represent the list elements.
// If the given expression is not a static list, error diagnostics are
// returned.
//
// A particular Expression implementation can support this function by
// offering a method called ExprList that takes no arguments and returns
// []Expression. This method should return nil if a static list cannot
// be extracted.  Alternatively, an implementation can support
// UnwrapExpression to delegate handling of this function to a wrapped
// Expression object.
