Yes, 'list' is already used, but it also already means exactly 
what we're saying here -- i.e., "restrict the set of pages to this list".

In other words, we already have list=normal, list=default, list=all,
etc.  The proposal above would simply give authors the ability to
use (:pagelist:) to construct additional list= filters.
