That point should now be fixed in git, I believe.
Thanks, will test.

Ah, your ui-maker specifications for list arguments are out-of-date.
The possibilities are: list_no_singleton, list_no_const and
list_exclude. IIRC it was you who requested the "list_" prefix for
these conditions ;-). See the current function-package doc.
OK, thanks for doing the research there. Again I fell into the trap of
not realizing that installing the latest snapshot doesn't always give
you the latest documentation files.
Yes, I remember that I voted for the "list_" prefix, and I still like
it. So that means we have to adjust the (few) packages that use the old
style? For example, StrucTiSM does, and maybe some others, too.
thanks
