Indeed, I don't know where my brain was :). I don't use myself

functions, I am typically moving my cursor by other means.

up-list also treats literal strings the same as backward-up-list, places

cursor after the closing parenthesis, so both up-list/end-of-list are

useful in different contexts.

If I'm understanding your question correctly: `up-list'  moves the
cursor to the end of the list and out of it, the same way
`backward-up-list' moves it to the beginning and up.
