emacs -Q
 
In buffer scratch, type this text just after the initial comment:
 
(set-buffer-modified-p nil)
 
;;---------------
 
;;;;;;; fffff
 
;;;;;;; ggggg
;;;;;;; hhhhh

Put point just after the list `(set-buffer-modified-p nil)'.
M-: (thing-at-point-bounds-of-list-at-point)
 
The result is (218 . 282), which contains all of tthe text _after_ the
list, up to eob.
 
Put point at eob and do it again:
M-: (thing-at-point-bounds-of-list-at-point)
 
The result is (282 . 282).
 
The result in both cases should be nil - there is *NO* list at point.
