Perhaps, there could be a -third- parameter for the text2list, and list2text functions, along with their CASE counterparts. This parameter would trigger the inclusion of list associations. So, the list 
poop = list("poop" = "dssd", "adsads" = "popop")
when using 
world << list2text(poop, ", " , 1)
would become 
"poop = dssd, adsads = popop"

Seems like it'd be going into the area of "less obvious use-cases." The standard usage of list2text and text2list is quite obvious; if I've got a list of strings, I can display them in an orderly fashion. If I've got a formatted string, I can break it up into separate entries.

This would be a very obscure usage, I think.

I feel like you'd probably be better off using params.
