Good point, and good question. I'll take another look at this.
It seems there was unfinished business in the relevant gretl source
file, gui/fncall.c. That's now updated, and I think the behavior
should be closer to what's claimed in the documentation, for both
variants of the specifications pertaining to list arguments (that is,
both with and without the "list_" prefix in "list_no_const",
"list_no_singleton" and "list_exclude").
