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.
