I agree that breaking backward compatibility is not the best thing,
but I'd also prefer to avoid having a lot of redundant code in Octave
that is there just to support some old way of doing things.

In this particular case, I think all the list functions (list, nth,
append, reverse, and splice) can be rewritten as M-files that use
cell arrays.
