title: Create a list based on a character vector of names of objects
body: <p>How can I create a list based on a character vector of names of objects that are themselves lists?</p>
  
  <p>Minimal example</p>
  
  <pre><code>l1 &lt;- list(letters, 1:10)
  l2 &lt;- list(LETTERS, 1:5)
  
  list_names &lt;- as.list(paste0("l", 1:2))
  
  list(list_names)
  [[1]]
  [[1]][[1]]
  [1] "l1"
  
  [[1]][[2]]
  [1] "l2"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The result is not what I want. I guess I somehow need to use backticks or soemthing such that <code>l1</code> and <code>l2</code> are not interpreted as character strings. </p>
  
  <p>How would I do that?</p>
