I don't see why we need to collapse a list to cut and paste it. The
current abi can cut and paste lists without collasping the text. The only
reason I can see for wanting such a feature is to reuse the list structure
with totally different text. It's not clear how often one needs that
feature. Never-the-less having a "cut special" to remove text and leave
the the list structure in place could be done before 1.0 I think.
