IMO sitemap always shoudl be 'special=directory' not '=list'.

How about doing it like this:

tt_content.menu.20.2 = HMENU
tt_content.menu.20.2 {
  special.value.data = leveluid:0
  special.value.override.field = pages
}

This should heal your (correct) concerns and should be backwards
compatible (at least with an empty field pages).

"Menu of subpages to these pages" is something else, as it only renders
one(!) level by default. I'd like to keep it as this. This is something
else than a "sitemap".

If we really want to rework the TS of tt_content.menu it should probably
get e "levels" configuration for the user. My suggestion however would
be to just go with the above change.

Greets,
Peter
