I don't have a good suggestion for the actual naming.

Regarding the fact that this arg can take a either symbol or a function
(which suffers from a risk of ambiguity, like you discovered), I think
it's very important to try and avoid the intersection of the two, and
a "standard" way to do that is to use keywords, like `:list`.

PS: Tho, strictly speaking you can `(defun :list ...)`.
I just hope noone ever does that (although I plead guilty to getting
dangerously close to it when I suggested this very idea to Philip for
`setup.el`).
