I'd probably use symbol-list? here.  symbol-list-or-symbol? is a bit of
a compatibility crutch for functions that previously accepted #'xxx
syntax for their arguments, possibly mimicking \override syntax.

For newly introduced functions, accepting #'xxx in addition to #'(xxx)
does not seem like a necessity.
