from cvs: recognizing canonical but non-pure lists

I noticed on cvs the change that finally fixes the
negative impact (esp. in eval) of "poisoning" list
objects with string-reps.

However the changes are so many (including reformatted
comments) that I can't really get a picture of what
changed.

Will barewords be recognized as possible canonical lists?
 (Will "eval mycommand [list foo bar ...]" benefit?)
Will concat and uplevel(with or without level-spec) also
  benefit from it?

Even if these will not, its still a big win, I think.
