Because it is run inside the parser directly. Before any Typoscript is
processed, the parser reads all TS templates and compiles them into a large
set of commands.

So since we change the resulting TS even before it leaves the parser, it
will work perfect wherever you will use it.

OK, so let's change this!

The command should always stay behind the "=" because it could also be a
regular string which should not be changed...

> xyz.pidList{addToList} = 20,21
> xyz.pidList = {addToList} 20,21
> xyz.pidList ={addToList} 20,21

I don't like any of them.

> xyz.pidList += (list)20,21

If there would be more functions like "resort" etc. then the "+" would not
make sense here.

What about using properties like I already did but wrap them in underlines?

xyz.pidList._addToList_ = 20,21
