Summary0014785: Unexpected behaviour in list when brackets are involved
Descriptionif semicoli inside are inside brackets [] they are not treated as list delimiters in a foreach loop
Steps To Reproduceset(lst"1;2;[;3;4;5;];6;7")
foreach(element ${lst})
  message("${element}")
endforeach()

# prints
# 1
# 2
# [;3;4;5;]
# 6
# 7
# what i expected:
# 1
# 2
# [
# 3
# 4
# 5
# ]
# 6
# 7
Additional Informationmaybe it has somethingto do with variable evaluation inside foreach? (just a guess)
