I meant that if point is inside a string that is inside a list
then it will prefer to find boundaries of the string, not the list.

For a string enclosed in a list it returns the string. For a list
enclosed in a string it returns the list.

You can type 'C-M-u' (backward-up-list) on different positions
(in a prog mode where strings are highlighted) to see its effect.
