Comment:

 Further digging unearthed changed behaviour between PHP 5 and PHP 7, see
 the following:

 == Strings can no longer be unpacked

 http://uk1.php.net/manual/en/migration70.incompatible.php#migration70.incompatible
 .variable-handling.list.string

 == The order changes from right-to-left to left-to-right

 http://uk1.php.net/manual/en/migration70.incompatible.php#migration70.incompatible
 .variable-handling.list.order

 Which makes me think that all usage depending on `list` should be
 abandoned.
