For all lib.fileset functions taking file sets as arguments, it would be possible to implicitly coerce list types to the union of their elements. So e.g.
I did think of this while developing the library, but held back because I wasn't sure about the implications, especially regarding the duality of union and intersection.
But now that we decided against having a list version of intersection, it has become pretty clear that union is the one and only operation that would make sense to use by default for lists.
