Summary
convert an expression into a list
Description
This function converts the expression E into a list.  It
is the same as Cast(E,LIST).

Example

Use R ::= Q[x,y];
M:=Jacobian([x^2y^2,x+y]);
M;
Mat[
  [2xy^2, 2x^2y],
  [1, 1]
]
-------------------------------
Head(M);

-------------------------------
ERROR: Bad parameters
CONTEXT: Head(M)
-------------------------------
Head(List(M));
[2xy^2, 2x^2y]
-------------------------------

The error occurs because the function 'Head' only accepts lists as
arguments.
