Still think bounds-of-thing-at-point should move backward first
parse-partial-sexp offers some handy info for beginning, not end
I agree with you that `bounds-of-thing-at-point' needs some work. I have
noticed other issues with it. We might work on them once we fix this bug.
In the example in this thread the problem arise because
`thing-at-point-bounds-of-list-at-point', which is the actual
function doing the job here. We need to fix this function.
Without it, the previous example works:
emacs -Q thingatpt.el -eval "(require 'thingatpt)"
M-: (put 'list 'bounds-of-thing-at-point nil) RET
C-p
M-: (thing-at-point 'list t) RET
=> nil
