Automatic list processing is a property of CK1&Dispatch ... CK5&Dispatch,
which are intended only to be used as the first objects within keyword
secondaries.  It is *not* a property of CK&DISPATCH0/1.  The latter words 
are used for dispatching at various levels; it would have been very
dangerous to change their behavior.

That's not all that might go away.  CKn&Dispatch assume that they
are the first objects in a keyword secondary, and in particular that
that secondary is preceded by a property list code and a command name.
They should not be used elsewhere.  I know that's not the point of
Joe's example, but it makes me cringe when I see the CKn&Dispatch
words flung around.
