The problem with the concept of "list as a string" is that it implies a
specific token separator, and there is no single universal solution to that
problem. As soon as someone implements the example you've shown, someone
else will say, "but i have a semicolon-separated list..." Ad nauseum.

Also keep in mind that sqlite3 tries, to a large degree, to be compatible
with ANSI SQL, and (IN "A B C"), in the form you describe, is not
ANSI-specified.
