Not sure if it does either ... I took a look at the schema, and a list has
object_members set to the object_id's of each of the members of the list
... and object_type set to Group instead of Object ...

Now, not sure what the Export function does, but it doesn't appear to pull
out the Group objects, only the Object objects ... ?  And since object_id
isn't pull'd out in the export, to export the Lists, you'd have to
translate object_members -> object_name ...
