It seems we need to force add "\" like symbol boxes do in these cases
This would also be possible. Probably better than silently bashing to
individual symbols.
(but not on adding a space, cause we usually want spaces in the list
box).
We can't really automatically escape them anyway because the unescaped
and escaped white space have different meanings.

Generally, list atoms contain FUDI strings and colons, semicolons
and dollars have special meanings. You have to escape them
explicitly if you want them to part of a symbol.
"foo,bar" -> 3 atoms
"foo\,bar" -> 1 symbol atom
However, you're right that the list atom forgets to bash those
special to symbols, so you end up with A_SEMI, A_COMMA, A_DOLLAR
and A_DOLLSYM atoms on the patch level - which is bad!

In parallel, there's the idea to hide this force adding "\" visually
on the boxes, but this can be taken care further in both cases of
list/symbol boxes.
