Well, it's not a literal. That's the nice thing about it. It's all evaluated at run-time and can contain expressions. e.g.:
{String instanceCount. World submorphs size. Time now printString. 'etc,',' etc'}
which right now evaluates to
#(113132 12 '6:01:53 pm' 'etc, etc')
but could be different later.
Cheers,
Bob
