Yes, this great feature was introduced sometime in the 2.19 cycle.
See 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/text-markup-list-commands

As far as I know, you can't use it in an actual \header block if
that's what you're meaning to do (\header blocks don't seem to allow
\markuplist commands, but I did manage to hack a way to do it.
Perhaps someone will chime in with something I'm overlooking!)
