If list contruction is greedy, that would make all binary ops be greedy as well.
If foo $x,$y,$z is greedy beacuse it means foo($x,$y,$z) and not foo($x),$y,$z,
then foo $x+$y+$z is greedy beacuse it means foo($x+$y+$z) and not foo($x)+$y+$z.

I think we don't talk of list being because it's easier to think it terms of how many operands are required. (e.g. 0, 3 or 4, any number, etc) Besides, it's just too inconsistent. 

foo $x,$y,$z    means           foo($x,$y,$z)    For functions,
bar $x,$y,$z    doesn't mean    bar($x,$y,$z)       it depends on the 
+prototype.
print $x,$y,$z  means           print($x,$y,$z)  For named operators,
chr $x,$y,$z    doesn't mean    chr($x,$y,$z)       it depends on the 
+prototype.
not $x+$y+$z    means           not($x+$y+$z)    For other operators,
!   $x+$y+$z    doesn't mean    !($x,$y,$z)         it depends on the 
+precedence.
