Description:
The page 
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/create-table.html
reads:

partition_options:
    PARTITION BY
           [LINEAR] HASH(expr)
        |  [LINEAR] KEY(column_list)
        |  RANGE(expr)
        |  LIST(column_list)
                ^^^^^^^^^ this doesn't seem to be true, there should be "LIST(expr)".

(or at least that's what I've collected from experimentation and reading sql/sql_yacc.yy, we need to check what is wrong - documentation or implementation)

How to repeat:
see above.
