I tried to copy the meaning of the arg NO-SYNTAX-CROSSING of 'up-list'
that uses such words in the docstring:
If NO-SYNTAX-CROSSING is non-nil (as it is interactively), prefer
to break out of any enclosing string instead of moving to the
end of a list broken across multiple strings.
The idea is that when this arg is non-nil, and point is inside a string,
then 'up-list' prefers to move out of string, instead of moving out
of parentheses.
