[GAP Forum] immutable --> mutable lists

Dear Forum,

I  have  one  simple question. Suppose we have an immutable list whose
entries are immutable lists (e.g. l := [ [1,2], [3,4] ] ). What is the
easiest  way  to  make  a  mutable copy of this structure (so that the
entries become also mutable). The one I came up with is obvious

List(l, x->List(x));

It works here (where I need it), but what if the dimension of the list
is  bigger  than  2?  Maybe  there is something more general? Or it is
necessary to use some recursion?

Thank you!
