library/list.m:
	Remove the undocumented `list__apply' predicate
	(again -- it was removed in r1.55, but put back
	again for technical reasons that are now fixed)
	since (a) the overloading of the name `apply',
	which is also used for applying higher-order
	functions, is undesirable and may cause problems,
	and (b) it is IMHO not useful enough to justify
	inclusion in the standard library.
