An alternative would be to add a new thing-at-point target 'string'
instead of 'list-or-string'. But since there is no such function as
'up-string' that would work like 'up-list' but only to go out of the
enclosing string and not out of a list, so what remains to do is
to use 'up-list' with the non-nil arg NO-SYNTAX-CROSSING, therefore
the new target 'list-or-string'.
