That'll learn me some.

It's a bit harder to implement for comments (as in, rewrite up-list
using parse-partial-sexp), and I'm not sure it's as useful. Probably not
too bad though.

I'm not sure which behavior is more useful. Your proposed behavior is a
departure from what we have today, and one could make a case for either
approach. I haven't heard anyone complain about up-list crossing string
boundaries.
