I agree that the doc string could use some clarifications, especially
in the "prefer to break" part and the "list broken across multiple
strings" part.

Also, it seems there's a copy-paste error: both up-list and
backward-up-list talks about going to start of a list, whereas one of
them (up-list, AFAIU) should talk about end of a list.
