They are.

No s.o.

unignore, lists, mailboxes,... are commands that append there arguments
to a list of values.

$editor is a variable. Variables can be set to another value. You can
append, or delete an element from a list; in mutt you can only
append; though.

Would you expect after

color index green yellow ~N
color index white black ~D

That there's only one color pattern in the index?

AFAIK no. That would be a nice feature, though. Any takers?
