Neither :help 'listchars' nor :help :list mention that the latter uses
the former: for instance, with
:set listchars=tab:\|_,eol:ś
the :list command will show a ś (not a dollar sign as stated) at the end
of each line, and hard tabs will be diplayed as |____|_______|_______
not ^I^I^I
I suggest the attached documentation patch.
Best regards,
Tony.
