The top level \markup can accept a markup list (which it silently wraps
into \line), but intermediate markup functions can't take a markup list
as argument.  There is a somewhat special situation when they occur at
the _start_ of where a markup list is expected: in that case, they are
applied to _every_ element of the following markup list.
