I'd somewhat visually prefer
'( function and function )
vs '(function of something)
I seems more readable than your proposal
'(function and function)
' (function of something)
and it also does not need to also take a look at ` and maybe even
(quote ...) (which is the rendition of printed Lisp expressions).
Of course, this proposal has the disadvantage that the probably more
common case of a function (or non-function!) list needs extra
formatting, so it is probably not useful in practice.
However, if we _combine_ both proposals with an added criterion, we
might arrive at the following rule set:
'( func and func ) is a list in any context
' (func of something) is a quoted function call in any context
'(func maybe) is a list, except in macro definitions where it is a
quoted function.
Maybe this is too complicated.
