The documentation for the function `up-list' reads like this:
up-list:
Move forward out of one level of parentheses.
With argument, do this that many times.
A negative argument means move backward but still to a less deep spot.
This gives the impression that the argument is optional. However, the
code reads like this:
(defun up-list (arg)
which says to me that the argument is required, not optional.
