pp_list in list context

Hi all,

Looking at the code for pp_list[1], does an OP_LIST have any use in list 
context? Or could it always safely be compiled out of the op_next chain[2]?

Best regards,
Steffen

PP(pp_list)
{
     dVAR; dSP; dMARK;
     if (GIMME != G_ARRAY) {
	if (++MARK <= SP)
	    *MARK = *SP;		/* unwanted list, return last item */
	else
	    *MARK = &PL_sv_undef;
	SP = MARK;
     }
     RETURN;
}
