I just copied the 1.9x behavior: if the first argument looks like a list
then don't add the default list.  Else add the default list.  Of course,
nothing happens if the command doesn't have the "takes a list" property.

Actually I don't think it would, assuming that I understand what you did
correctly.  Am I correct in assuming that your change just doesn't guess
and always adds the default list if there is one (i.e. the command is being
sent to the -request address)?

But this policy is set for all commands in a single routine, so it's easy
to change later.
