But 
 
 [something which is a kind of list(
 |
 [route something]

will strip of the "something" part, so stripping off "list" with
"route list" is consistent with that behaviour.

Apart from that, using [route list] to trim lists of "list" is
probably very common (Iohannes does it, I did it) so changing it would
mean breaking patches.
