    Recursively convert simple Python containers into pyrsistent versions

    - list is converted to pvector, recursively

    Sets and dict keys are not recursively frozen because they do not contain
    mutable data by convention. The main exception to this rule is that
    dict keys and set elements are often instances of mutable objects that
    support hash-by-id, which this function can't convert anyway.
