It's good practice to supply the user with everything he needs to use
a function declared in a given header.  That would mean including the
full definition of list.  Any reason not to?

It would be nice if the if(show_return_type) statement appeared to
have less apparent boilerplate repetition in its two branches, but
aside from that it seems fine.

Thanks for doing this!

Naturally, it can't go on the trunk until after 1.33 is released.
