Thank you Tony, for the nice powerful macro.

I think that global variable $list_dialog can be introduced.
If $list_dialog = $empty_array ,this is default, list_dialog "is old".
If $list_dialog["mode"] = "multisel", "single"... corresponding
option is passed to list_dialog.
If $list_dialog["string"] = "dialog" or some other value
a string input line is added.

If list_dialog automatically obtains options from
$list_dialog array, old syntax of list_dialog() macro is kept.
