if thats a case, a lot of code will be broken.
Suggest to revert this change.

Both forms differ considerable from the users view BTW.
While the list handling code is easy to grasp and looks well defined,
the sexp-grammar with its "balanced expression" even after years sounds 
arcane for me.

forward-list etc. also have been reliable to deal with in coding,
sexp... not that much

Please keep the lisp-list-functions.

Thanks

Andreas
