The result in the file is the same, but when I launch the command I see
a kind of flash (like when something is opened and then closed and I have
not enough time to see it well).
Whereas with stdin, I do not see this flash, ex window is never opened
in this case. Everything is done entirely silently.

A remark about :put =list
I tried :put =[ 'str1', 'str2', '', 'str3', '' ]
the '' are here to insert empty lines.
The last one is not inserted.
It seems that to obtain what I want I need two commands
:put = [ 'str1', 'str2', '', 'str3' ]
:put = [ '' ]
Is there a solution with one command.
I tried, adding '\n', somewhere but it seems I can't.
Inside '', \n does not work and :put = does not like "" it seems.
