Once upon a time, ob-core converted lists to actual lists. It is what is
reflected in the manual.
Later, the code was changed and lists were interpreted as lists of
lists.
Now, I reverted to the original behaviour.
The time span is years and I do not recall any related bug reports.
So, nobody seems to care.
