Maybe I should point out that the references to "list" in the
docstrings of car and cdr are not as ambiguous as the one in listp,
because these docstrings do contain a reference to "cons cell or nil"
in their second line. This seems (to me) to make the meaning clear.
The present `listp' docstring contains no such reference.
Docstring of car:
Return the car of list. If arg is nil, return nil.
Error if arg is not nil and not a cons cell. See also `car-safe'.
See Info node `(elisp)Cons Cells' for a discussion of related basic
Lisp concepts such as car, cdr, cons cell and list.
