Macros that display lists of pages and news items format their lists in all kinds of different ways:

{children}

and

{pageTree}

are unadorned lists,

{recently-updated} comes with an underlined heading, and {blog-posts} comes in a table with a heading. When trying to integrate these lists into a nicely laid out page, it ends up a hodgepodge.

It would be great to be able to ask for a set of pages (e.g. children, recent updates, recent news, etc) and specify the desired list style, possibly including some variations on the number and kinds of columns to show. At a minimum, I'd like to get any page list as an unadorned list so that I can put it in any kind of table, section, under a heading, etc.

For example:
{children:list-style=plain} - displays an unadorned list {children:list-style=table} - displays a table {children:list-style=heard} - displays list under a header bar of some sort (like {recently-updated}

does)
