Comment (by jdemeyer):

 I don't like this:
 {{{
         .. WARNING::

             The specifications of this feature are fuzzy, leading to
             potentially surprising consequences (see the examples
             below).  It is recommended not to rely on it, as it may
             eventually be discontinued.
 }}}

 The specifications are not fuzzy. They might be strange, unlogical,
 arbitrary, badly chosen but not fuzzy. To make it less fuzzy, you should
 document explicitly the fact that the equivalence only works up to
 `max_length` in the {{{NOTE}}} about this {{{WARNING}}}.

 (to compare: in #17920 I took the convention that `x in L` is equivalent
 to `x in L.list()`, so I don't really identify lists with trailing zeros,
 I just output the list with the least number of trailing zeros)
