NAME
       llength - Count the number of elements in a list

SYNOPSIS
       llength list
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       Treats list as a list and returns a decimal string giving the number of
       elements in it.

EXAMPLES
       The result is the number of elements:
	      % llength {a b c d e}
	      5
	      % llength {a b c}
	      3
	      % llength {}
	      0

       Elements are not guaranteed to be exactly words in a  dictionary	 sense
       of course, especially when quoting is used:
	      % llength {a b {c d} e}
	      4
	      % llength {a b { } c d e}
	      6

       An empty list is not necessarily an empty string:
	      % set var { }; puts "[string length $var],[llength $var]"
	      1,0
