Comment (by pedromendonca):

 I understand, the main issue is backwards compatibility.

 If a plugin or theme uses `%la`, it will currently be parsed as a list +
 an ‘a’ concatenated.

 If an old code uses `%lall` (“%l” concatenated with “all” - bad example
 but possible as it is the expected behavior), with the new function
 version the “a” would be absorbed as a parameter and cropped out from the
 text string.

 As for numbering, the $ tells the code that the next character is a
 parameter, and not a text character from the string.

 I think an upgrade to this function shouldn’t break existing code.
