Explicit casting of lists?

I imagine this would be a kinda dumb thing to do... but can you explicitly cast a list as another type, say a string? Ie:

CODE
list bork = [ "O", "M", "G", "W", "T", "F", "B", "B", "Q", "!" ] ;
llWhisper( 0, (string)bork ) ;


I assume, if it would work, that it would just spit out something horrible, with all the quotes and commas and everything all mashed in there. :)

Isn't that pretty much what llDumpList2String does?

Yes it does Cross, but not even the commas and quotes.

llWhisper(0,(string)["1","2","3","4"] becomes 'Object whispers: 1234'

The prettier way to do it is llList2CSV: 'Object whispers: 1,2,3,4'
