command to turn a sequence into a column

[midichef]

How about a command to turn a sequence into a column, one element per row?

Something along the lines of:
Sheet.addCommand('', 'addcol-seq', 'seq_expr=inputExpr("seq expr: "); seq = eval(seq_expr, getGlobals()); c=SettableColumn(); addColumnAtCursor(c); c.setValues(rows, *seq)', 'add column with rows from a sequence')

vals = [5,4,3,2,1] addcol-seq vals
to create a column:

A
--
5
4
3
2
1

I'm not sure how to set the column type.

Is this the addcol-iter variant of setcol-iter (gz=)?

[midichef]

Ah right, setcol-iter exists. This functionality felt very familiar, now I know why!

Then addcol-iter is just a shorthand for gs za colname setcol-iter col. But I do think it'd be helpful mentally to have a single command for that. What do people think?

One downside is that the exec-longname command palette for addcol- would get even more crowded. It has 4 commands that don't fit on screen with default settings. If we make addcol-iter, it'd have 5.

Given your answer #2613 (comment), this would be consistent with existing commands, and simplify the flow for such a task.

Wondering if there is an easier way to handle this matrix of commands (add|set)col-(expr|iter|incr|subs|regex-subs|...) that we have. They are useful, just wondering how to better invoke and find them.
