Yes, you just have to look at the ui-maker function.
OK, I checked all the function packages, and apart from the mentioned
StrucTiSM the constructs without list_ are used in ParMA and in
random_forest.
However: I also read the package doc more thoroughly, and it says there:
"These keywords can also be given in a shorter form, omitting the list_
prefix, ". That would then bring me back to the original question why it
didn't seem to work in the example I gave? (I haven't tested yet whether
it would work with the list_ prefix.)
Thanks
