Thanks, this is long overdue. See comments below:

^^^^^^^^
enclosing, right? ;-)
Why limit this to strings? It makes just as much sense to do it for
comments, doesn't it?

If @ is point, I think that from
(a "b (c (d @ e) " "f) g" h)
up-list should move to
(a "b (c (d e)@ " "f) g" h)
and then to
(a "b (c (d e) "@ "f) g" h)
whereas I think your code would move to
(a "b (c (d e) " "f)@ g" h)

This should be factored out into a separate function to avoid the
code duplication.
