    -> Tests for functionality "Evaluate Robin Expression (with List)"

`filter` evaluates its first argument to obtain an operator, generally assumed
to be a predicate (a one-argument function which evaluates to a boolean).
It then evaluates its second argument to obtain a list.  It then evaluates
to a list which contains all the elements of the given list, in the same
order, which satisfy the predicate.

    |   (filter (fun (x) (symbol? x)) (literal (1 two #f 3 () four 5 six)))
    = (two four six)

    |   (filter (fun (x) x) (literal (#t #t #f banana #t #f)))
    ? abort (expected-boolean banana)
