Describe the Feature you'd like
I would like to provide lists ([item1, item2, item3]) as an option. I tried to use option('[item1, item2, item3]'), but the YAML variable is assigned the value "[item1, item2, item3]". I don't want the double-quotes. I'd like the list [item1, item2, item3] to be assigned to the YAML variable. I'm aware of multiSelect but for a variety of reasons, I don't want to build the list by selecting items 1, 2 and 3 individually from a list of options. One reason is that another option is [item3, item4] and another is [item1, item3]. So you see, I have pre-defined lists that I'd like to provide as options to choose from.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the option argument is parsed and how its value is assigned to a YAML variable. Check the existing handling for literal values and multiSelect, then verify that predefined list options remain lists rather than becoming quoted strings.
